UK meat supplier Cranswick has booked “strong” sales growth in the first half of its fiscal year, boosted by “good progress” in the firm’s CCF Norfolk division.
For the six months to the end of September, the firm reported an 8% increase in turnover.
Adjusting for the impact of Cranswick’s cooked meats transaction with Morrisons in July, the headline increase was 12%.
Overall operating margin was in line with management’s expectations, the firm said today (5 October).
