Warehousing group Norish posted a rise in first-half profit after sales rose across its cold store, protein sourcing and dairy units.
Norish said a strategic review of its gold store operations announced in March was ongoing.
Pre-tax profit for the six months through June increased to £1.35 million, up from £0.78 million year-on-year, as sales climbed 19% to £18.9 million.
The company did not declare an interim dividend.
Looking forward, it said it remained optimistic for continued growth in profitability in cold stores for the balance of the year.
