Greencore raises profit forecast as sandwich sales return

Convenience foods were decimated in the pandemic as workers remained at home

Greencore CEO Patrick Coveney: 'We are rebuilding our economic model.'

Irish food group Greencore has regained ground lost during the pandemic last year recording revenues just 2.8% below 2019 levels as the UK economy reopened and workers returned to offices.

The sandwich and convenience food maker saw revenues jump 53% compared to 2020, for the third quarter up until June 25.
