Cranswick Sales Up 31 Percent, John Terry Also Scores

Hull-based pork specialist Cranswick say that Q3 sales (to Dec 31st 2009) were up 31% to GBP200 million, although that includes the contribution from CCF Norfolk which was newly acquired in June 2009.

Fresh pork sales were up 70% year-on-year and bacon sales up 61% whilst operating margin "was maintained at a level similar to that achieved in the first half of the year", it says.

Talking of pork, are Talk Sport messing about when one phone-in pundit this morning says of John Terry: "leave him alone, he scored at the weekend, some of the papers are saying he should fall on his sword, but I don't agree."
