A BRADFORD-district based HR and employment law firm has advised a vegan ice cream maker on a deal.

Cleckheaton-based Howarths has advised vegan ice cream maker Northern Bloc on the employee transfer element of its acquisition of Criterion Ices.

Jonothan Scollen, employment solicitor at Howarths, said: “Howarths has worked closely with Northern Bloc to deliver strategic HR and employment law consultancy in line with the company’s ambitious growth plans since 2021, when the company secured seven-figure growth funding.

“As part of this latest acquisition, we supported with the transfer of employees from Criterion Ices to Northern Bloc to ensure all employment law and contractual obligations were met.

“Strategic acquisitions involving employee transfers give rise to a number of legal and contractual employment law obligations to ensure they are completed correctly, and it was our pleasure to support Northern Bloc to manage these efficiently and in a timely manner.”
