Competition Commission clears the acquisition by Napier Brown Foods Plc of James Budgett Sugars Ltd

The acquisition brings together the two largest non-refining resellers of sugar to industrial customers in the UK. We assisted Napier Brown in dispelling concerns voiced by the OFT that the transaction might lead to a significant lessening of competition in the UK industrial sugar market. Throughout the Competition Commission inquiry, we advised Napier Brown on its submissions and conducted empirical analyses on competition in the industrial sugar market and an assessment of coordinated effects.

For more information see the Competition Commission Website on the inquiry.
