Dairy Crest - Nuneaton Investor Day- Plain FMCG Talk

Dairy Crest’s (DCG LN, HOLD, T/P 630p), Nuneaton investor day – held on 19th September immediately after its 18th September trading statement - significantly confirmed the benefits of its decision to dispose of its dairy activities, which left the company on 26th December 2015. Not only did the transaction raise group margins from 5% to 16% but also it enabled Dairy Crest to operate fully as a branded FMCG company.
Opening presentational comments in relation to Dairy Crest’s trading statement confirmed that the company’s company’s chief food brands – Cathedral City, Clover, Country Life and FryLight – were positive in aggregate in both volume and value terms in H1. However, butters & spreads brand Country Life’s performance was negative within the mix.
