GU, the upmarket chocolate dessert maker, is set to become even richer after receiving several approaches for the business. Founder James Averdieck founded the group in 2003 with just £100,000. The business is now valued at £50m. Private equity groups including Darwin are said to be interested, as well as trade giant Unilever.
