Article Abstract:
Northumbrian Fine Foods has changed its name to nff, and the company should report a sixth consecutive year of growth in profits in 1999. The company's clients include most major United Kingdom supermarkets, and the company produces biscuits and confectionery, mainly for private-label sales. The company's acquisitions include Lovells and Ideal Bakeries, which should bring cost savings. More acquisitions are unlikely for 1999. The company's profit is forecast at 1.8 million pounds sterling for 1998-1999 by Henderson Crosthwaite.
