The first six months of 2009 will match ‘management expectations’ for Britain’s Northern Foods, with strong performance in chilled products offsetting a decline in frozen.

A trading statement from the company said that first half 2009 has produced an increase in sales and volumes of 2.9 and 2.5 per cent, respectively.

Sales of food in its chilled range increased by 8.8 per cent, said the company, while bakery was up 3.9 per cent. However, production in the frozen section was down 7.5 per cent.
