Greencore makes £113m bid for food supplier Uniq

Greencore has today swooped for M&S food supplier Uniq in a deal wrapping up the last remaining slice of the former Unigate empire.

The Dublin-based firm, which serves some of the UK's biggest supermarkets and recently missed out in a takeover battle for Fox's biscuits owner Northern Foods, has offered £113m (128.5m) for the UK business.
