Fowler Welch-Coolchain (FWC) has maintained satisfactory volumes in the year to 31 March 2011, parent Dart Group has declared.
The chilled and ambient FMCG specialist attracted new volumes into its new Heywood, Lancashire DC, which has capacity for 50,000-pallets, while business volumes across FWC are described as satisfactory, by Dart Group in its trading update published today.
Dart Group says pre-tax profit for the year ending 31 March 2011 will be in line with current market expectations.
Most recently FWC took over the factory clearance operation at Spalding, Lincolnshire for food firm Tulip, which was previously managed by Wincanton.
"Notwithstanding higher fuel costs and continued consumer uncertainty, the board currently believes the group will trade in line with market expectations in the current financial year," Dart Group states.
