Do you remember Wellness Foods?
Well in case you don't, here is a little reminder. During the credit boom of the mid-noughties a group of Irish "tycoons" - said to include Denis Brosnan, formerly the boss of food company Kerry Group - backed Wellness via Switzerland-based Lydian Capital to consolidate Britain's health food market.
