Tesco to buy food wholesaler Booker Group

The firms said the deal would create the "UK's leading food business". Under the terms of the deal, Booker shareholders will end up owning about 16% of the combined group. "Tesco has made significant progress in turning around our UK retail business," said Tesco chief executive Dave Lewis. "This merger with Booker will further enhance Tesco's growth prospects by creating the UK's leading food business with combined expertise in retail, wholesale, supply chain and digital." "Wherever food is prepared and eaten - 'in home' or 'out of home' - we will meet this opportunity with the widest choice and best service available."
