Trading Update
Crawshaw Group Plc ("Crawshaw", the "Company" or the "Group"), the fresh meat and food-to-go retailer, is pleased to report that following various initiatives undertaken by new management, like-for-like sales have been particularly strong in the last quarter, with the growth being realised across the entire estate. This has been accompanied by a strengthening gross margin position.
In addition, the two new stores that opened recently are trading very well and above our "base case".
We look forward to presenting a strong trading position at our interim announcement on 29 September 2015 and now expect the Company to exceed market expectations for the year ended 31 January 2016.
