Patak’s looks to spice up global expansion options

THE family behind one of Britain’s best-known Indian food businesses has said it has begun a review aimed at satisfying its hunger for global expansion.

Patak’s has hired investment bank NM Rothschild to come up with options for growing the company, set up in North West London by LG Pathak in 1957 and should achieve sales of over £70 million (€103m) this financial year.

It remains 100% owned by the Pathak family, with around half of its 650 staff employed at a state-of-the-art factory at Leigh near Wigan.
