Says revenue was 9.9% higher year-on-year from £426.3 million a year ago due to ‘volume growth and the impact of pricing actions in the last financial year to recover input cost inflation.’ Adds overall volumes in the half year were 6.4% higher due to continuing momentum in private label. Net debt at December 31 was £145.7 million, down 12% from £166.5 million at June 30. McBride half-year results will be published on February 27.
