Nestlé UK and Ireland
Following the announcement of Nestlé SA’s 9 month sales results, Paul Grimwood, Chairman and Chief Executive of Nestlé UK & Ireland said: "Nestlé has continued to deliver a solid performance in the UK and Ireland so far this year. The economic climate is still challenging and the market is highly competitive. We expect these conditions to continue into 2011, with ongoing pressure on household budgets."
"Our two flagship brands, NESCAFÉ® and KIT KAT®, have increased market share in recent months both in the UK and Ireland, which is encouraging."
