Upmarket cookers group Aga is facing challenging trading conditions that it says are making progress difficult although efficient manufacturing meant potential remained strong.
In a trading update today (3 July) Aga Rangemaster Group confirmed that it was making good progress within its operations and that results for the first half are expected to be in line with last year.
Chief executive William McGrath (pictured) said: “Overall our wide range of consumer brands are proving resilient. Our marketing programmes, in support of our strong brands, are backed by product development initiatives which reinforce the relevance of our well differentiated products to consumers. With efficient manufacturing and well established distribution structures, the potential for the Group remains strong although we are mindful of the current economic climate we are facing.”
