About

Dublin-based Greencore Group supplies the UK market with 350 million sandwiches a year. Formed in 1991 from the privatisation of the Irish sugar industry the company has grown into a leading global manufacturer of convenience foods and the world’s largest sandwich producer. The group legal team, based in UK and Ireland, supports the Dublin-based central business functions and is recognised for its strong contribution to Greencore’s overseas strategy. The company has invested heavily in the US market in recent years and is now a major supplier to Starbucks coffee chain and 7-Eleven convenience stores. The small but highly-respected legal team caught the attention of nominators who praised its ‘professionalism and ability to handle the range of issues that come across the company’s radar’ and ‘strong sense of the underlying drivers of the business and ability to match these with well-considered legal advice.’
