UK - Permira eyes Britvic again

Permira has resumed its interest in listed soft drinks company Britvic. Reports emerged that Permira was looking at the company, which suffered several profit warnings last year, in mid-2006. In December 2006, Permira acquired an 11% stake in the public company which holds a bottling contract with PepsiCo to sell Pepsi and Tango in the UK.
