News roundup–Berry Bros and Rudd, Peacocks

Online revenues at wine merchant Berry Bros &
Rudd (BBR) grew 72 per cent in 2011, reaching £25
million. The figure, generated via the company’s website and its
Berrys’ Broking Exchange service, represents BBR’s best-ever year
for online sales. The majority of the growth was delivered by
Berrys’ Broking Exchange, a service that enables customers to
trade the wines they hold in BBR’s UK bonded warehouse.

Four companies are still in the running to acquire
Peacocks out of administration, reports the
Western Mail. According to various reports,
the bidders include textile tycoon Alshair Fiyaz and
Edinburgh Woollen Mill.
