CEO Sergey Evlanchik said the company was able to deliver a “strong recovery” in profitability despite the “challenging” trading environment.

“In dairy the Russian ban on imports led to higher milk volumes availability and lower prices until September 2012,” Evlanchik said. “This together with the company holding its strong market position in butter and expanding that in processed cheese provided the much improved performance.”

Revenues amounted to GBP60.2m, a 19% increase on the prior year period.
