Cranswick Sales Up
Cranswick, the Hull-based food manufacturer, reported that sales increased by 11% in the first quarter today.
The firm, which recently had its £17.2m acquisition of rival Norfolk-based sausage manufacturer Bowes given the go ahead, said that significant increases in sales had been seen in sausages and bacon. (I'm doing my best to help them on that front, with Mrs Nogger a slave to the frying pan most mornings. She's no stranger to the odd sausage herself, but I digress).
The group said takings hit £167m for the April-to-June period. Shares leapt above 630p in early trade, but have settled back to 611p, up 7.5p.
