Deal significance: GPA went into receivership late last year and Allied Mills completed the purchase on 22 March 2013. Joe Di Leo, Allied Mills managing director, said: “When GPA went into receivership, it was all hands to the wheel to complete due diligence and contract negotiations in a very tight time frame. The Gadens team rolled their sleeves up and worked alongside us to get the deal done.”
