C&C denies plans on soft drinks arm

C&C Group was yesterday distancing itself from weekend reports saying it is looking to sell off its soft drinks division.

A spokesperson for the group said the story was speculation.

A report in the British media over the weekend claimed C&C was considering selling off its soft drinks arm — which includes the likes of the Club and Club Energise brands, MiWadi, Ballygowan water and the Irish licensing agreements for Britvic, 7-Up and Pepsi.
