Grampian food boss Fred Duncan could receive a £275m payout if the business is sold, The Times has reported. The food group, which has annual sales of £1.8bn and is valued at £400m, has recruited investment banks to find a buyer for parts, or all, of the business. Possible bidders included Brazil's two biggest meat processors, Sadia and Perdigao, according to the paper.
