Aryzta revenue grows by 6.1% to €995m

Swiss-Irish food group Aryzta saw a return to growth in its Irish and UK business as revenues across the group climbed by more than 6% to €995m.

The company was boosted by increased first quarter sales in Ireland and the UK against a backdrop of more muted consumer sentiment across Europe.

The group’s revenues climbed 6.1% in the 13 weeks to the end of October, made up of currency movements of 5.8% and acquisition growth of 0.7% which offset negative underlying growth of 0.4%.
