LONDON, May 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Dairy Crest CEO Mark Allen today
reveals that the company has enjoyed a "really good year" with
profits up 7% to £50m. In a video interview he explains how the
sale of the St. Hubert business has strengthened the balance sheet
and allowed the company to focus on its UK-based business.
During a "transformational" year he says Dairy Crest has
undergone some fundamental restructuring. "We've gone from having
two divisions to this one Dairy Crest. A new management
board, that's focused on consumers, customers and an integrated
supply chain."
Following a volatile summer in 2012 action had been taken to
improve relations with farmers, ensuring greater level of stability
going forwards.
Mr Allen also describes the performance across the company's
three divisions and within the key brands and talks through his
plans for achieving cost savings and growth in the year ahead.
