Aga feels warm glow of sales in cold snap
15.01.10
The cold snap has given Aga Rangemaster a boost, with people scurrying home to their cast-iron cookers and wood-burning stoves.
After a bad first half when orders for its upmarket cookers plunged 20%, Aga enjoyed a bounce in the second half of last year. "The weather has been running something of a marketing campaign for us," chief executive William McGrath said today. "The benefits will probably come through in 2010." The idea of having a second energy source at home and being less reliant on the grid has become more appealing during the big freeze and highlighted the benefits of the firm's all-in-one cookers and boilers. With temperatures in Britain dropping well below zero, sales of Aga wood-burning stoves have soared.
The company is also benefiting from signs of life in the housing market, which should have underpinned a return to profitability in the full year, from a loss in the first half. The shares jumped by nearly a fifth on the news.
Orders were down 12% over 2009, but Aga's order book finished the year higher than a year ago.
