Ballygowan and MiWadi owner Britvic takes Covid hit to Irish revenues

Robust performance in at-home sales offset by decline in hospitality sector sales due to Covid restrictions

Ballygowan owner Britvic saw its Irish revenues fall, due to Covid restrictions, in its latest financial year

Ballygowan and MiWadi owner Britvic has said its Irish operations saw a fall in full-year revenues, with Covid restrictions on the hospitality and foodservice trades eroding sales.

The British soft drink group, which also owns the Club Orange and TK Lemonade brands in Ireland, said it saw a “robust” performance in the ‘at-home’ sales channel here, as Irish consumers upped their grocery spends.
