Greencore shares jump but ‘too early’ to call on longer term impact

Shares in Irish consumer food group Greencore jumped by as much as nearly 7% after it said it has not suffered any disruption to its supply chain or production network.

However, the UK-focused company said it remains too early to predict the impact of Covid-19 on its financial performance this year. Greencore is the largest maker of pre-packed sandwiches in Britain.
