Last week, Greencore said that it had seen "strong growth" in food-to-go and other convenience categories in the 53 weeks ended 30 September, driving both revenue and profits higher.

Greencore said group revenues had grown 31.3% year-on-year to £1.7bn, and were also up 20.3% above 2019's pre-Covid performance, while adjusted operating profits almost doubled from £39.2m to £72.2m and operating margins expanded from 2.9% to 4.2%

As of 1625 GMT, Greencore shares were up 1.08% at 65.70p.
