Sales put a fizz in Barr results
STRONG performances from Irn-Bru and the Rubicon fruit juice range have helped AG Barr post a 13 per cent rise in interim revenues to £118 million.
In a pre-close update ahead of its half-year results in September, the Cumbernauld-based group said it had continued to perform ahead of the soft drinks market, which grew by 7.1 per cent in the 13 weeks to 10 July.
But it warned: "In the second half we face tougher year-on-year comparative trading conditions and expect our performance to return to levels more in line with the overall soft drinks market."
The firm predicts the full-year performance will be ahead of management's expectations.
