Meal-deal sales help drive increase in Greencore revenue

Dalton Philips, chief executive of Greencore, said the company is showing "resilience" in the current difficult customer spending environment.  

Irish food company Greencore has seen revenues increase by 1.9% to £495.4m (€574.6m) in the three months to the end of June, driven in part by increasing sales of their premium meal deals.

The company manufactures convenience foods, such as sandwiches and salads, for retail outlets. It is one of the largest suppliers in the UK and Ireland.
