Profits up, new pubs and bars, new lodges and more doors to be opened - what a start to the year!
We’d like to thank each and every one of you for your contribution to our success – and the proof is in the pudding as they say – or the burger, the Rotisserie chicken, or the beer!
Now seriously (just for a second or two) Ralph Finlay CEO proudly presented Marston’s as a high quality business delivering growth when he announced our interim (half-yearly) results to the Stock Exchange.
With the company showing growth in revenue and earnings, it’s clear we have a leading pubs and beer business (as if you didn’t know already!).
Here are the highlights:
Pubs
– Average profit per pub up 3%
– Four new pub and bar openings and three new lodges in past six months
– On track to open 23 pubs and bars, plus 8 lodges, this financial year
Beer business
– Market-leading and continues to grow
– 26% share of premium bottled ale
– 19% share of premium cask ale
– Own-brewed beer volumes up 2%
Fact of the day! In the last 10 years we have built around 200 pubs on new sites.
