                    Greencore Merges its Two Food Divisions



Greencore Group plc ('Greencore') announces that it has today merged its two
food divisions.



Tony Hynes has been appointed to lead the newly named Convenience Food division
and has relocated to the United Kingdom.



Anne Truelove and Gerry Smith, respectively the current Chief Executives of
Greencore Chilled Foods and Greencore Ambient & Frozen, will, as a result, be
leaving Greencore.



Commenting on the changes, Greencore Chief Executive, David Dilger, said, 'There
are clear benefits to further integrating the business and unifying the
leadership of all of our convenience food activities.  It will result in a
single senior point of contact for our customers and a more focussed business
structure designed to assist the Group in optimising synergies across our
businesses.



'Tony Hynes's energy and enthusiasm, coupled with his disciplined approach and
extensive experience in convenience food, make him the ideal candidate for this
role. Regretfully, however, this change in structure will result in both Anne
and Gerry leaving the Group.  They have given many years of loyal service to
Greencore and, formerly, Hazlewood Foods and have made a major contribution to
the Group's success in our UK and continental European activities. They have our
best wishes for the future.'
