All 13 of its stores could close unless an urgent rescue deal is found
An iconic bakery firm in Lancashire is facing closure after a deal to sell the 119-year-old business collapsed at the eleventh hour.
However, bosses said an eleventh-hour withdrawal by an un-named buyer has "left us with no choice but to consider closure". They are now looking to secure an urgent rescue deal to avoid closing all 13 locations and have employed Azets, the UK top ten accounting and advisory firm, alongside Brabners Solicitors, in a bid to secure its future.Lara Oddie, director at Oddie’s, said: "Oddie’s is a fourth-generation family business, started in 1905 by William Henry Oddie.
"As a family firm, we have always seen ourselves as part of the local community fabric, making this a heartbreaking situation for us, our devoted staff, and the loyal customers in Burnley and Pendle who have cherished our our unique products."
