Despite UK economic woes, soft drink firms Fever-Tree and AG Barr report rising sales.

Two soft drink companies, Fever-Tree and AG Barr, reported rising sales despite a decline in UK consumer confidence. Fever-Tree saw a 3% overall revenue increase to £364 million, driven by a 9% rise in US sales due to a partnership with Molson Coors. AG Barr, maker of Irn-Bru, noted a 5% revenue rise, partly due to strong performance by its Rubicon brand. Both companies have shown resilience in a tough economic climate.
