Greencore’s share price in London has surged more than 25 per cent in the year to dateFour leading companies have been shortlisted for the Deal of the Year category at The Irish Times Business Awards, which are run in association with Bank of Ireland. That put the payments company within reach of the $95 billion valuation it had before a post-Covid slump in the tech industry. The Irish company has paid $270 million New Zealand dollars (€132 million) to acquire a 65 per cent shareholding in Alliance. The winner of the Deal of the Year award will be chosen by a panel of judges, chaired by Microsoft executive Anne Sheehan. The winner of last year’s deal award was Irish-listed food giant Kerry Group for the divestment of its dairy processing operations to Kerry Co-op members.
