The wholesale giant said it intended to hold the near 81 million shares it had acquired in the Big 4 grocer for investment purposes and looked forward to supporting the executive team.

Sainsbury’s said: “We note the announcement made this morning by Bestway Group stating that it is not considering an offer for the Company.

“We will engage with Bestway Group in line with our normal interactions with shareholders.”

This comes as Sainsbury’s reported sales jumped 7.1% over Christmas as shoppers flocked to its stores to snap up the offers available.
