The division operates bakeries in Manchester, Bradford, Blackburn, Salisbury in the UK, and Szczecin in Poland. It produces a range of cakes and pies, including celebration cakes, mince pies, muffins and loaf cakes for leading retailers.
The company did not disclose who the discussions are with.
“Following a strategic review of the business, it was agreed that our cake division has great potential and requires capital investment to realise that potential,” said Simon Webber, chairman of McCambridge. “Following approaches from third parties it was decided to consider a sale of the business.”
Webber said the unit is growing in both sales and profitability, adding that it is “an attractive option for a new investor”.
