Inter Link Foods executive chairman Alwin Thompson said: “Now that these talks have terminated, we can concentrate all of our resources on the group’s increasingly important Christmas period and on delivering our ninth consecutive successful year since joining AIM in 1998.”
On 25 September, the UK manufacturer confirmed it was in talks about a possible offer, likely to be in excess of GBP47m (US$89.42m).

Inter Link said he was leaving to pursue private and charitable interests.
