Soft drink maker Britvic has reported soaring quarterly revenue even as hospitality venues were impacted by a return of Covid-19 measures last month. The FTSE-250 firm posted total revenue of £373.9m on a constant currency basis, up 16.5 per cent compared to the October to December period in the previous financial year.

The 7-up maker did warn that it was experiencing "inflationary pressure across the business" but was looking to avoid price rises where possible.
