Hazlewood plots a way out of its pickle
Article Abstract:
Hazlewood Foods has shifted its focus to ready prepared meals and convenience foods and is a major supplier to many large UK food retailers. The company has had difficulty in raising prices, but some price rises are being accepted. The company should benefit from lessened pressure from raw materials costs. UK sales account for nearly 75% of the total, and the company also sells to the Netherlands. Hazlewood plans to increase the proportion of sales to the Netherlands to half the total.

S Daniels
Article Abstract:
S Daniels is a producer of chilled foods, and includes the New Covent Garden Soup Company. The company plans franchise outlets using the SOUP name and there have been encouraging results from three test sites. The company has invested heavily, and this has depressed profits, but this could change. There is also competition in the British food industry. The company could attract a bid, and the directors have shown confidence in its future by buying stocks.
