Premier Foods revenues up 3.5% at £1.14bn for last 12 months
Demand for premium-branded products helped the maker of kitchen staples such as Mr Kipling cakes and Bird's custard to deliver higher sales and profits last year.
Premier Foods said headline revenues were £1.14 billion for the 12 months to March 29, up 3.5 per cent on the year before.
Sales were buoyed by a 5.2 per cent increase in revenues across its branded business. Branded revenues in the group's sweet treats division, which includes Mr Kipling and licensed Cadbury products, saw revenues grow by 7.3 per cent to £233.8 million.
Sales of Mr Kipling's Signature Collection premium ranges were particularly strong, with Premier Foods recording a 78 per cent jump in sales of its brownie bites, while revenues doubled for its 'best ever' mince pies.

BCP launches British pound stablecoin
BCP Technologies has launched the first British pound-backed stablecoin from an FCA-registered crypto issuer. 0 BCP's tokenised GBP (tGBP) is backed 1:1 by reserves held in a segregated account at a UK-regulated financial institution and is fully redeemable for sterling at any time. BCP says the stablecoin is now live after more than a year-long review process, including a month in the FCA's regulatory sandbox. As the stablecoin market heats up, the firm is hoping to take advantage of the fact that GBP options have so far been limited, typically issued by offshore entities with low liquidity. It says that tGBP uses the reliability of UK financial infrastructure for the minting and redeeming process and has the flexibility and speed of blockchain technology. Benoit Marzouk, CEO, BCP Technologies, says: "tGBP supports a broad range of use cases: GBP self-custody for retail and corporates to bring an alternative from banks (and their inherent fractional reserve risk), cross-border payments, institutional collateral management, a GBP option for DeFi lending protocols and a GBP on-chain access for bitcoin-backed loans. "It might also be used in the future as the main GBP rail for settling tokenised assets like bonds, securities, or real estate."

Chelsea are paying a £5million penalty so that Jadon Sancho will not play for them again. Unfortunate as it is for the loanee being returned to sender, that is the headline which will be remembered above all, even if there is more to this peculiar parting than that. Chelsea's agreement with United did not include any loan fee, the switch having been hurried over the line on last summer's deadline day when a deal sheet was submitted to the Premier League to give the clubs an additional two hours to complete the transfer after the 11pm cut-off.
