Britvic benefits from fizzy drinks revival

A resurgent fizzy drinks market helped soft drinks giant Britvic post a healthy gain in pre-tax profits today.

The group, which makes Tango and Robinsons, said its surplus for the six months to April 15 came in at £10.3m (€15m), compared to a loss of £5.3m (€7.7m) in the same period last year.
