Private equity group Permira was linked to Foodvest over the weekend and was reported to have approached its owner CapVest over a possible sale.
According to the Sunday Telegraph, CapVest is considering selling at least a minority stake in Foodvest, which was formed earlier this year to bring the Young’s and Findus businesses closer together.
CapVest snapped up the continental operations of frozen food specialist Findus two years ago, a deal that followed the acquisition of Young’s in 2002.
A spokesman for Permira refused to comment when contacted by just-food this afternoon (21 July).
