Britvic plc ('Britvic') AGM Trading Update - 31 January 2007
------------------------------------------------------------

At the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10.30am this morning, Gerald
Corbett, Chairman, will make the following comment on the Company's trading for
the 12 weeks to 24 December 2006:

'Britvic today reports that the improving trends highlighted at the time of the
Preliminary Results continued through the balance of the first 12 weeks of the
current financial year, with total branded revenue growth of 4.8% compared with
the same period last year, comprising stills growth of 6.8% and carbonates
growth of 2.4%.

In stills, Britvic out-performed the market during the period, reflecting good
performances from J20 (attributable in part to the successful reintroduction of
the Orange and Passion Fruit variant), Robinsons squash, and Fruit Shoot H2O
which also further strengthened its position as market leader in the children's
water category.

Britvic out-performed in carbonates as well, maintaining its volumes in a market
that declined by 2.6%, primarily as a result of further market share gains by
Pepsi. In addition, Britvic's Average Realised Price increased, driven by our
continued focus on promotional spend, against a period last year when there was
significant margin pressure.

Britvic's International business achieved improved results, with distribution
gains in both Sweden and Denmark.

In the early weeks of 2007, our trading has continued in line with the trend
seen before Christmas. While this is encouraging for carbonates, we remain
cautious regarding the outlook for this category given the continued consumer
focus on health and well-being. Britvic is well placed to benefit from the
anticipated growth in the stills market thanks to the strength of its existing
brands and product portfolio. Its position will be further improved by a number
of new product launches, such as Robinsons Smooth Juice and Fruit Shoot 100%
Juice, scheduled for the second half of the financial year.'
