Private label shower gels-to-shampoos developer McBride ( MCB ) gives up 0.87p to 104.13p on lacklustre interim results and newsthat finance director Richard Armitage is off to pastures new. The results reveal sales off 3% to £380.3 million at constant currency and a 10.5% drop in operating profits to £10.2 million, reflecting heavy promotions in the UK market as well as McBride's deliberate withdrawal from contract manufacturing business.
