C&C shares rise 3% as Bulmers sales hold up well

Shares in C&C rose over 3% as the sales of Tennent’s lager in Britain and Bulmers cider in Ireland held up relatively well at the half-way stage, as the company gets through the Brexit uncertainty in good shape.

C&C reports on a half-year basis on the six months to the end of August because it generates a significant amount of sales and earnings during the summer months.
