02/9/2015 20:32 | Mmm, looks like the big boys heard first... Booker : Acquisition Of Musgrave Bypasses Phase 2 Investigation Envoyer par mail 09/02/2015 | 10:18am US/Eastern LONDON (Alliance News) - The UK Competition and Markets Authority Wednesday said it has decided not to refer Booker Group PLC's acquisition of Musgrave Retail Partners GB Ltd to a phase 2 investigation. Booker revealed in May that it is buying Musgrave Retail Partners GB Ltd, which comprises the Londis and Budgens convenience store chains, from Irish food wholesaler Musgrave Group PLC for GBP40 million in cash. Shares in Booker were trading up 2.6% at 172.30 pence Wednesday afternoon. | woodpeckers | |

17/8/2015 08:46 | Just thinking.....if Morrisons are selling off their convenience stores I wonder if this would play well forBooker. Either as a takeover themselves or as supplier to a new buyer. Would be a natural bolt on for Booker leading to even greater warehouse and delivery economies of scale | ayl30 | |

22/7/2015 22:07 | pilly, I wouldn't be so bold as to guess. To be honest I don't really care as I don't have a sell price. As long as management keep doing what they're doing I'm happy to stay invested as I think there are few companies with a board as dedicated to growing the company and the share price will reflect that. They all have great personal investments so if they're prepared to put their money where their mouth is, then so am I. Having said that, I never worry when directors sell a few shares, that's the name of the game, they work hard and get a significant proportion of their renumeration in shares so it is understandable that from time to time they will want to cash in a few. If the CFO suddenly sold the lot I would worry! Don't think that's going to happen any time soon. | woodpeckers | |
20/7/2015 16:41 | SO Mark Aylwin is staying close to home. Ridler has served as managing director of Musgrave GB since April 2014. He will leave the retail group, which owns convenience specialists Londis and Budgens, later this year. He will be replaced by Mark Aylwin, who previously served as supply chain and IT director at the Musgrave Group. Aylwin has more than 35 years’ experience in the food industry, having also worked for Booker Direct and Safeway. Aylwin takes up the role on August 17, when he will commence a handover period with Ridler, Musgrave said. Ridler’s leaving date is yet to be confirmed but he is expected to depart in mid-September. The changes come less than two months after Booker agreed a £40m deal to acquire Musgrave Retail Partners’ GB business, which includes Londis and Budgens. | woodpeckers | |
18/7/2015 09:58 | Nice write up! Booker, the cash-and-carry chain and star of the No Pain, No Gain portfolio, continues to exude calm and confidence in what remains an under-pressure retail sector. The supermarkets, once carrying all before them, are now struggling to combat the discount invaders. But Booker, supplying mostly small traders through its warehouses and delivery services, seems set to sail serenely on. True, first-quarter sales progress failed to achieve the heady heights of a year ago but chief executive Charles Wilson describes the more modest gain of 0.2 per cent (or 0.4 per cent on a like-for-like basis) as "solid". The group has succeeded in turning round the loss-making Makro cash-and-carry chain acquired three years ago for around £140m. Now it plans to direct its attention towards another lossmaker, as represented by its proposed deal to buy the grocery chains Budgens and Londis. If this goes through – and there seems every reason to believe the competition authorities will clear it – the cost will be £40m cash. There are hopes the acquisition will complete later this year, and the addition of 167 Budgens supermarkets and more than 1,600 Londis stores, mainly corner shops, should enhance Booker's performance. The shop chains should sit comfortably with Booker's existing Premier convenience business and its still- fledgling Family Shopper discounters. There must also be huge scope for its distribution fleets to increase their operations. The shares, as I write, are around 168p. With a deserved fancy rating, they are not cheap and it would be difficult to argue with stockbroker Shore Capital's view they are fully valued. Still, with increasing profits and dividends and the promise of another 3.5p-a-share special payment next year – making three on the trot – any investor who followed the portfolio into Booker should stick with the group. I am." | woodpeckers | |

16/6/2015 10:59 | BY MARTYN FISHER Tuesday 16th June 2015, 09:40 London Londis voted UK's best c-store Awarded gong on criteria including quality of fresh fruit and veg and product availability Londis has been voted the UK's top convenience store on criteria including quality of fresh fruit and veg and product availability, according to a survey of shoppers. The symbol group - recently bought out by the Booker Group - registered significant improvements across all 14 customer satisfaction areas in the 2015 Convenience Tracking Programme (CTP) from HIM Research & Consulting. The ratings included staff friendliness, ease of shop, speed of service, value for money, prices, quality of fresh fruit and veg and product availability. John Pattison, Londis brand director, said: “We are really pleased that our shoppers have recognised the significant improvements and investments we have made to improve our store standards and consumer offer. Most importantly we’re delighted that customers think Londis is a friendly and welcoming place to shop. "These latest results are a testament to the continued hard work of our retail partners in developing their stores and providing a brilliant convenience offer and shopping experience to their local communities.” | woodpeckers | |
