AGM STATEMENT

A.G.BARR p.l.c., the soft drinks group, whose brands include Irn-Bru, Strathmore, Tizer and Orangina, will today hold its Annual General Meeting in Glasgow.

At the AGM, Chairman, Robin Barr will say, 'A.G.Barr has started the year well with revenue in the first 15 weeks ahead of the corresponding period last year. This is a particularly positive performance in light of the excellent weather experienced during April and May of last year and reflects the continued progress being made across our portfolio.

Trading conditions are competitive across the soft drinks category but we remain confident at this early stage that we are on course for another successful year.'
