DRINKS MAKER C&C said it expects its full-year operating profit will be €110 million, within the range of its previous guidance.
The group said it had seen an improvement in trading in Ireland during the second quarter with volumes of its cider brands Bulmers and Magners up by 1 per cent on the same period a year earlier.

In an interim management statement issued yesterday, C&C said Magners performed particularly well in Ireland in the three months to the end of June last with a 5.8 per cent increase in volume and a 7.8 per cent increase in net revenue. Exports of Magners outside of Ireland and the UK also rose with a 31.9 per cent increase in volume in the third quarter.
