In 2016 Carr's Group sold the flour-milling division to Whitworths Holdings Ltd. In March 2012, it was announced that Carr's Table Water Biscuits had lost its royal warrant due to 'changing tastes' in the Royal Households. Carr's promptly licensed the coat of arms of the City of Carlisle to replace the coat of royal arms on their packaging. Flooding In 2005 the Caldewgate factory in Carlisle lost two months' production due to flooding. In 2016 the local newspaper News and Star stated that the factory had reopened with a £1 million government grant. However, that same month United Biscuits announced that the factory in Caldewgate, Carlisle, had experienced five feet (over 150 cm) of floodwater on 6 December, which damaged the brick ovens and would result in product shortages on retail shelves. After closure of the works for a month to repair and clear flood damage, production and distribution gradually resumed in spring 2016.
