UK: Kellogg signs fresh swimming deal

By: just-food.com | 30 June 2009

Kellogg has renewed its deal to sponsor the UK's swimming association, the cereal giant said today (30 June).

The company plans to spend GBP3m (US$5m) sponsoring some of the UK's leading swimmers and supporting a "grass-roots" programme to encourage children to swim.

Kellogg corporate responsibility manager Bruce Learner said: "Our new investment will help the sport go from strength to strength by benefiting swimmers of all ages and abilities as well as encouraging non-swimmers to take the plunge."

The world swimming championships take place in Rome next month.

The turmoil seen on the financial markets in late 2008 gave way to a deep recession in 2009, where credit remained scarce and manufacturers like Uniq, Bakkavor and Dairy Farmers of Britain faced financial problems - with the latter going to the wall. Some food makers, however, have thrived. Read on for which companies just-food feels had a good 2009 - and which suffered.
