Confident Investing Starts Here:

The latest update is out from Kitwave Group PLC ( (GB:KITW) ).

Kitwave Group PLC reported that its trading for the six-month period ending April 2025 was in line with expectations, despite initial weaker demand in the Foodservice division due to hospitality-related revenue declines. The company opened a new Foodservice distribution center in the South West, incurring additional short-term costs to ensure customer service quality. The integration of Creed Foodservice, Kitwave’s largest acquisition, is progressing well, with expected synergy benefits to begin in the second half of 2025. The acquisition has enhanced Kitwave’s national foodservice network, offering immediate customer opportunities and distribution efficiencies. The company remains confident in meeting full-year market expectations, with performance typically stronger in the second half of the year.
