TV visit to Rank Hovis

Waitrose expansion
Mark Price, chief executive of Waitrose, has suggested the retailer plans to open stores in Northern Ireland in 2012. Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph he said: "We plan to double in size over the next decade and Northern Ireland is one option we are looking at." The supermarket chain spends £100m on products from the region every year.
Erratum
In the 18 November issue of British Baker there is an error in our feature entitled ’A moment with Ken’ (page 18), an interview with Greggs’ chief executive Ken McMeikan. The last line of the story should read, "greater emphasis on the bakery feel rather than the food-to-go or the coffee shop." British Baker apologises for this mistake.
