Britvic Plc, one of Europe's leading soft drinks businesses, has today

In a video interview with business broadcaster www.cantos.com,
Chief Executive Paul Moody said that the first half results showed "a really
solid performance across the Group" which shows "the resilience of the
business across all of its markets."
Britvic International revenue grew by 20.4% and GB revenue was up 6.8% in

France, acquired one year ago and pricing improvement in every market.

confident about the outcome for the full year."
