Steady growth for McBride

MCBRIDE, the manufacturer of private label household and personal care products, says Group revenues have increased by 0.4% in the six months to December 31, compared with the first half of 2015.
The Middleton-based listed company said profits were benefiting from actions associated with business simplification, streamlining and cost initiatives.
As a consequence, first half year underlying trading results will show further overall progress, in particular when compared to the first half of last financial year.
The Group will announce its interim results for the six months ended December 31 on February 24.
