Sayers then remained a family business until 1977, when it was sold to United Biscuits. It was sold again to Warburtons in July 1990, a baking firm based in Bolton. Warburtons also bought Hampsons, Sayer's sister company and other bakeries in their estate included Burneys of Rochdale, Spinks of Sharston, Parkers of Eccles, Burtons of Blackpool.
