Just Eat acquires Hungry House - Horizontal Integration at work
15th December 2016
Horizontal integration in the fast-growing and increasing competitive home-food delivery market.

How lazy! The deal needs to be ratified by the Competition and Markets Authority. I think Rory Cellan Jones has it right, this space is getting pretty crowded not.
