AG Barr 'unlikely to move HQ south of Border'

AG BARR, manufacturer of Irn-Bru, is unlikely to risk its successful business model by moving its headquarters south of the Border if it pulls off a deal to merge with Robinsons owner Britvic, a City analyst has predicted.

The Cumbernauld-based company saw its share price increase by 7% yesterday, a day after revealing it had initiated talks with its larger drinks rival on a scheme that would see its chief executive Roger White installed as chief executive of the combined group.
