Fri, 26th Feb 2021 14:22

Escape Hunt PLC - escape rooms operator - Reports modest improvement in adjusted loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization in 2020 when compared to 2019, despite Covid-19 related restrictions on trade.

In addition, Escape Hunt says it has exchanged contracts to acquire its French master franchise partner BGP Escape. The acquisition is expected to complete on or before mid-March.
