Ranjit Singh Boparan :- ISP Network

Chief executive Ranjit Singh Boparan
Business: chicken-processing, Worth: £130m
Britain\'s richest couples) . He is facing jail after leaving a baby paralysed in a car crash

NRI Antonio Boparan Singh, 21, son of Ranjit and Baljinder Boparan (Britain\'s richest couples) is facing jail after leaving a baby paralysed in a car crash. He has become the first person in Britain to be convicted of a motoring offence on the strength of his car\'s \"black box\" recorder.

Antonio Boparan was 19 at the time of the crash in November 2006 when he drove his mother\'s £57,000 powerful four-litre Range Rover Sport at 70mph on a 30mph road, had overtaken one car and was trying to pass a second when he ploughed into the oncoming Jeep at an estimated 72mph. He had passed his driving test six months before the accident.

Cerys Edwards, one-year-old, was secured in a child seat, suffered massive injuries- a broken neck and brain damage. She needs a ventilator to help her breathe and care round-the-clock.

Antonio Boparan\'s lawyer, Richard Langton said:

The maximum sentence for dangerous driving is just two years.
If Singh had killed Cerys Edwards , he would face a maximum sentence of 14 years for causing death by dangerous driving.
Cerys\'s father, former office administrator, 41, said:

I believe the maximum sentence of two years is absurdly lenient for what he did
We have been trying to concentrate on Cerys up to this point but this man has dragged us through hell.
By going to trial he dragged us here to stand and give evidence.
I can\'t even begin to describe how I feel about him. He has put us through absolute hell.
Cerys is a real little fighter and the doctors say it is a miracle that she survived. I am pleased to say that she is doing well.
She is trying to breathe on her own now and is fighting really hard.
Mr Langton, of Russell Jones & Walker in Birmingham, described the stance as \"callous\" and plans to lodge a claim at the High Court for a £1million interim payment. Boparan\'s insurers had refused to cover the estimated £850,000 cost of converting a house for Cerys to live in. They say they will only offer a rental property. She will need special housing and aids and equipment plus round-the-clock nursing for the rest of her life

Car\'s black box trapped speeding:

The first time such technology, Car\'s black box has played a role in a British court- Singh\'s trial used evidence from a device fitted to the airbag system of his Range Rover
Black box Data Recorder was used to establish that a force equivalent to 42mph was lost in one fifth of a second in the crash and it estimated that his speed at around 72mph at the time of the accident.
It also record a car\'s speed, deceleration, what gear the car was in and other information such as the pressure on a brake pedal at the time of a crash. It shuts off the fuel tanks, helping to prevent an explosion.
For the past 10 years the recorders has been used in the U.S. and Canada.
Car\'s black box trapped speeding information helped a jury to make a decision unanimously to convict Boparan of dangerous driving. Antonio Boparan pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving.

The Birmingham crown court jury also heard how five others were hurt in the November 2006 crash at Sutton Coldfield. Judge Frank Chapman said:

You should expect a custodial sentence and you should expect it to be at the top end of the two-year scale.
You need to think about things, you have made a mistake and you will have to be punished.
There is no point trying to get away from it. If you run away you will simply be putting it off.
Antonio Boparan\'s parents agreed to guarantee a £1million surety for his bail. He will be sentenced later this month.

Ranjit Singh Boparan, father of Antonio Boparan said, \"This was a tragic accident that I deeply regret. My family has every sympathy for Cerys and her family\"

Mrs Baljinder Boparan, mother of Antonio Boparan said, \"Her son was in training to become a manager at the family firm.\"


Black Country poultry giant 2 Sisters Food Group has bought out a chicken firm in the South West in what is believed to be a multi-million pound deal. The value of the takeover is not being revealed.

But 2 Sisters, based in West Bromwich, says it plans to invest more money in Devon firm Lloyd Maunder.

2 Sisters was founded by Ranjit Singh Boparan and his wife Baljinder, who are said to be worth around £130 million according to a recent West Midlands rich-list.

Their £500-million-a-year business in Dial Lane, Black Lake, produces the Buxted brand of whole chickens and chicken dishes, as well as supplying own brand chicken products to supermarket chains including Tesco, Waitrose and M&S.

It is also the leading UK supplier of free range, organic and corn-fed chickens. As well as its headquarters and processing centre in Dial Lane, it also runs a processing operation in Bevan Way, Smethwick.

Four sites across the West Bromwich area employ a total of 1,500.
Lloyd Maunder in Willand is a leading producer of specialist poultry sold in supermarkets across the UK.

It dominates the poultry production industry in the South West and 2 Sisters says it has plans to expand.

Chief executive Ranjit Singh Boparan said: "We're planning to develop the operation further as a regional centre of excellence for specialist poultry production. Lloyd Maunder has been a leading light in the UK poultry industry for 50 years and we'll be looking to build on that success.".. Source; express and star

RANJIT AND BALJINDER SINGH - Boparan Holdings

At Two Sisters, the Singh\'s West Midlands-based poultry processor. A £6m investment at its Scunthorpe plant was the biggest ever in the history of the facility and was described as a \'serious commitment to the future of the town\' by chief executive Ranjit Singh, who with his wife Baljinder wholly owns parent company Boparan Holdings. Boparan also recently acquired John Rannoch in Suffolk, an operation producing premium-quality roast and breaded chicken products for the retail and food-service markets.

With more than seven sites around Britain, Smethwick-based Boparan is best known for its Buxted chickens brand. In the year to July 2004, profits soared from £3.4m to £18.8m on sales up £40m at £326.8m.

Processed chicken may be unfashionable among the chattering classes these days, but it\'s clearly still highly profitable. On these figures, we value the company at about £100m. Ranjit and Baljinder Singh have taken more than £22.7m in dividends since 2000, so we value the couple at around £110m after tax and including other assets such as farms.
