Allergy Therapeutics plc 18% growth “paving the way”

Commenting on the interim results, Allergy Therapeutics plc LON:AGY Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer, said: “In the first half of this year, we delivered an increase of 18% in revenue at constant currency, despite flat or low growth in European markets, driven by the quality of the Group’s highly convenient, ultra-short course, aluminium-free therapy enabling us to continue to gain market share.
