morrisons was founded by william morrison in 1899 in bradford — a city where it still has its headquarters, and you need loyal customers. a retailer with its heart and soul in the north of england and the biggest producer of fresh food in the uk is now the subject of a bidding war between two private us—based buyers. why? these are very interesting, huge businesses, massive employers that take a load of cash every single week, 52 weeks of the year, cos we all need to eat. and what there is in this business is a little bit more than the normal supermarket. they make and sell food, not just to themselves but to other people, and there also are huge opportunities through a deal they've done with amazon. so morrisons is perhaps not quite what you expect. morrisons is not the only uk company in international buyers' baskets. defence contractor meggitt, which specialises in aerospace, and ultra, which supplies submarine and missile technology, are also being targeted by multi—million pound international bids. the numbers are startling. even before you count morrisons, meggitt and ultra, foreign

— why are they so desperately by morrisons? , ., _ , morrisons? they have a lot of money right now, flush with money, these american companies from quantitative easing. british supermarkets are cheaper since brexit, because of course the value of the pound against the dollar has weakened. they are more affordable and also quantitative easing means they have so much money, deals that previously would have been unthinkable and impossible. above all, it is really covid, supermarkets are great assets to own, the stock market doesn't seem to value them, perversely likes of the liberator etc, fast growth technology companies in the food space and covid has reminded us all that supermarkets are essential retailers and make a loss of money, but there is that cash generation that the market seems to value —— make a lot of money. that the market doesn't seem to value. clearly these private equity businesses do. ldrdl’heh private equity businesses do. when ou look at private equity businesses do. when you look at the _ private equity businesses do. when you

it was run by a mr william morrison. that gave morrisons a bigger slice of the market in the south. the merger was not an easy marriage, butjoining forces made morrisons the uk's fourth biggest supermarket. for many years it was runby this man. and his approach to retail was simple. what we're trying to do here is recreate the atmosphere in a market, which really is a little touch of nostalgia where you can choose your fish, you can look at it. just like fish markets used to be in the old days. but ultimately, for him, it all came down to price. you want to know what a bogof is, well, i'll tell you. it's buy one, get one free. greatly appreciated by all the shopping public. here we go. twice the quantity, same price. under sir ken's watch, morrisons became a jewel in the crown of british retail. he died in 2017 at the age of 85. you might wonder quite what he would make of all the fuss. morrisons has been counting the cost of the pandemic. it announced its profits had have but remember morrisons is very different from so
