Drinks maker Britvic reported a fall in third-quarter revenue as 'more challenging' performance in France and Ireland stifled growth.
For the quarter ended 7 July, revenues fell 1.5% to £360.1m, with revenue in GB growing despite the market declining in value and volume, the company said.
In its Brazil and International segments the company continued to deliver solid revenue growth, but performance in France and Ireland remained more challenging with a further softening since the half-year.
'Overall we have delivered a solid performance against a more challenging backdrop in quarter three. We remain confident of achieving market expectations for the full year, underpinned by the strength of our brand portfolio, exciting commercial plans and a tight focus on cost control,' said Simon Litherland, Chief Executive.
