Warburtons profits slide
Warburtons saw profit decline last year as it worked to maintain market share through increased promotions and pricing actions.
The UK bakery said that for the year ended 25 September 2010, profit on ordinary activities after tax was down 32.6% to £12m (US$19.3m) and sales declined 3.6% to £492m, reported just-food.
