Albert Bartlett has completed the acquisition of The Jersey Royal Company, a move sanctioned by the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority. This transaction was initiated to secure a sustainable trajectory for the island's paramount export. The amalgamation of these leading producers on the island is aimed at ensuring the endurance of the Jersey Royal potato, alongside maintaining consumer satisfaction.
Having a longstanding tradition of handling Jersey potatoes, Albert Bartlett has been intricately involved with the island's produce through dedicated packing and cultivation facilities since 2008. The Jersey Royal Company, reshaped over two decades ago and acquired by Produce Investments in 2014, now enters a new chapter under Albert Bartlett's stewardship.
Integration efforts focusing on the Jersey Royal Company's team and operations are set to commence, anticipating a promising 2024 season. This consolidation is expected to generate novel opportunities across the supply chain.
