IRN-BRU maker's sales fall in fluctuating market
IRN-BRU maker AG Barr said its sales had fallen flat amid a competitive and volatile market.
The business, which also makes Tizer, said sales in the wider soft drinks market lifted 0.7 per cent
The firm posted a 1.1 per cent fall in sales for the 15 weeks to May 9 as it also came up against tough comparisons from a year earlier, when it sponsored the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
But the business, which also makes Tizer, said sales in the wider soft drinks market lifted 0.7 per cent in the same period.
It added it expected to meet its full-year targets, but warned the retail market continues to see challenging conditions.
Shares slipped 2 per cent.
