Reckitt lifts revenue targets

Household products group Reckitt Benckiser raised the bar on its annual revenues target today after growth across all its product categories.

Reckitt, which makes items such as Lemsip, Dettol, Airwick air fresheners and Harpic disinfectant, said two strong quarters meant its target for net revenues growth in 2004 was now 7%-plus, rather than the 5% previously forecast.
