and
Trading Update
Distil plc ("the Group" or "Distil") (AIM: DIS), owner of
premium drinks brands, is pleased to announce that another leading
supermarket group has listed RedLeg Spiced Rum ("RedLeg") for its
stores throughout the UK.
This follows the successful listings of RedLeg in April 2015 and
October 2015 by two major UK grocery chains and further increases
this brand's presence and availability in the UK.
We are also pleased to announce that trading in the first
quarter (April-June) of the current financial year has been broadly
in line with our expectations. Both sales volumes and revenues were
up 1% and 5% respectively over the same period last year which
contained our first listing with pipe fill to a major grocery
chain, combined with major launch promotional activity which is
phased differently this year.
Don Goulding, Executive Chairman of Distil, said:
"We are delighted RedLeg Spiced Rum has been listed by another
major UK supermarket chain, further enhancing awareness and
availability of this popular brand which is growing in both the On
trade and Off trade. We continue to make steady progress across the
portfolio with our brands benefiting from increased marketing
activity."
