Looking ahead to next year, Paleologou added: “We have signed letters of intent with a number of other businesses that we expect will make 2018 another very busy year for acquisitions.”
Paleologou’s comments came alongside the publication of Premium Brands Holdings’ third-quarter and nine-month financial results.
The company posted nine months of higher revenue and profits, although the company saw “transitory factors” weigh on its third-quarter numbers.
