The family-owned Everards brewery and pubs business has reported a solid recovery from the pandemic.
The business – which manages more than 150 pubs and has a new brewery near junction 21 of the M1 outside Leicester – saw sales double to £31.4 million as it came out of two years of on and off lockdowns in the year to last September. It also recorded pre-tax profits of £2.7 million, compared to losses of £3.5 million a year before, despite the impact of inflation on costs.
In a statement on the last few months the business said: “The 154 pub estate has recovered well since the end of the pandemic with like-for-like profit growth to June 2023 of 6.3 per cent.
