Down-to-Earth Staff

A group of bright minded, friendly and ambitious individuals, the Endless LLP team combines experience and enthusiasm in a mixture you won't find anywhere else.

  • Bright Blue Foods

    BBF is the largest own label cake manufacturer in the UK with turnover of over £160 million. It trades from four sites in the UK and one in Poland and employs over 2,000 people. The business delivers ‘best in class’ operational performance across a broad range of production capabilities including mince pies, fruit tarts, swiss rolls, celebration cakes and chilled desserts.

    The initial investment in BBF by Endless happened in September 2015 and we were delighted to be joined by new CEO, Jonathan Lill, a few months later. The initial investment plan included a significant capital investment in the manufacturing sites in both the UK and Poland, best-in-class operational enhancements and a focus on new product development.  Following the delivery of the initial plan, our attention turned to bolt-on opportunities.
