Grampian has bought the St Merryn Food group, which produces beef and lamb products, including burgers, turkey products, barbeque products and ground beef.

Managing director of Grampian’s beef business, Grant Mackie, said the move “helps to accelerate the group’s convenience foods agenda”. No financial details were disclosed.

St Merryn Foods employs 2,000 people and has an annual turnover of £280m.

MD of St Merryn Foods, Bart Stacey, said: “I would like to take this opportunity to reassure all of our producers that this change of ownership will have no impact upon our ongoing relationships, it will be business as usual.”
