Countrywide Announce Record Half Year Results
June 13, 2009
Despite the tough economic conditions, Countrywide, the UKs leading supplier to the rural community, is on course for record profits this year.
That was the upbeat message to shareholders from Chairman, Nigel Hall on reporting Countrywide’s strong half-year performance across all businesses. For the first time in its history they generated an operating profit in the first half of the financial year.
A retail like for like sales increase of over six per cent and an improved margin performance was boosted by a store refurbishment programme and the opening of a new store in Waterlooville, Hampshire. The policy of improving the store estate and growth through new store openings and acquisition continues into the second half of the year.
The group’s agricultural business responded well to volatile commodity prices by improving profitability and the arable business also recorded an excellent first six month with sales and margins in seed, crop protection and fertiliser all performing strongly.
The acquisition of Cotswold Fuels, full ownership of its LPG energy business and the cold weather boosted sales in the Energy business despite customers reacting cautiously to global price volatility. The Energy business is performing well ahead of expectations and further growth is anticipated.
“We expect the company’s improved performance to be maintained in the second half of the year, and that full year operating profit will be substantially ahead of that reported last year,” explained Mr Hall.
“Market conditions remain highly volatile for all three of our businesses but our growth strategy continues to be effective,” he said.
Rude Health rants at Real Food are a roaring success
June 6, 2009
The Real Food Festival was a fabulous event. Filling London’s Earls Court with chocolate, cheese and chutney galore, it was a food-lovers dreamland. But surrounded by 400 other small producers Rude Health was determined to stand out. And itdid, even knocking Petal the water buffalo off centre stage (sorry Petal!), as eminent epicureans and celebrated chefs stepped up to the microphone and ranted on our Speakers’ Corner podium.
Guest ranter, rants...
As does Rude Health's Nick
In fact The Guardian enjoyed Rude Health’s rants even more than the festival’s own renowned debates (read more at www.guardian.co.uk). Rude Health’s relentless ranter Nick kicked it all off with a rant about ‘Fibre’ and even relinquished the podium without the need for our cattle prong. Next saw author-blogger extraordinaire Simon Majumdar rile against the fat chip and slow food crusader Wendy Fogarty stress how we are eating the planet. Perhaps most controversial was food writer Tim Hayward’s attack on Elizabeth David, who he accused of distracting British people from the joys of our own cuisine with her alluring Mediterranean dishes. You can listen to all of the guest rants at www.rudehealth.com

The acquisition will reduce the amount of the region’s waste going to landfill significantly and will improve recycling and recovery rates.

David Lawrence, managing director, Lawrence Recycling and Waste Management, says: “Clearaway provides us with the opportunity to develop our trade waste collection services and provide customers with a higher level of service and compliance, while managing pre-treatment legislation and corporate social responsibility concerns.”
John Eden who has run the Clearaway company for 25 years, founded by his late father Charles Eden over 57 years ago, will continue as a consultant at Lawrence’s. Eden says: “Merging with Lawrence Recycling and Waste Management means job security for my employees and enhanced services with commitment to recycling and recovery of waste for my customers.
