Real smoothie operator

THE firm behind the NutriPro smoothie machines has toasted ‘transformational’ results.

Ultimate Products, which also owns homeware brands Salter and Beldray, saw sales rise 62.2pc to £68.1m, with profits up 77.9pc to £8.4m, in the six months to January 31. It also banked more than £50m when it floated last month.

Bosses put the success down to its ‘mass-market, value-led consumer goods’.
