Hook2Sisters, a joint venture in poultry farming between 2 Sisters and PD Hook has been sold to the Boparan Private Office (BPO).
The deal will establish a fully integrated agricultural supply chain for the business. All shares in the existing farming joint venture will be sold to 2 Agriculture Holdings Limited, part of the BPO.
In addition, PD Hook-owned rearing, breeding and hatching farms and assets that support the current joint venture will be sold to 2 Agriculture Breeding Limited, also part of the BPO.
This will establish an integrated agricultural supply chain to support 2Sisters Food Group Bernard Matthews and Shazan Foods with its continued supply of chicken and turkey into the retail sector.
PD Hook will retain and continue to operate two hatcheries (Cote and Dalton) together with the supporting rearing and breeding farms which will allow them to continue to focus on the supply of day old quality chicks to the independent market.
The sale exchanged on 14 June 2025 with a proposed completion date in August 2025.
In an email to farmers, James Hook said meetings and discussions would be held over the coming days to ensure questions and any concerns can be answered as fully and quickly as possible.
“I want to assure you that, in the short-term, we will manage our business as usual and nothing will change such that you should continue to follow the current ways of doing business.”
