Bidvest can tap US$1b for deals outside S. Africa


JOHANNESBURG: Bidvest Group Ltd is seeking deals outside its South African home market and could borrow as much as US$1bil for acquisitions after it spun off its food-services unit last year, its chief executive officer said.

Lindsay Ralphs, the CEO, is plotting Bidvest’s next phase of growth after the Johannesburg-based company spun off Bid Corp Ltd, which is about 40% larger by market capitalisation at 80 billion rand (US$6bil).
