The Chiswick-based company, which runs 370 venues across the UK, told investors that sales jumped 21.6% over the five-week period around Christmas and New Year, compared with the same period a year earlier. “The business is in great shape.” Fuller’s reported that like-for-like sales have grown by 11.5% for the financial year so far, covering the 42 weeks to January 20. The boss added that Fuller’s will face upcoming rises in the national living wage and business rate property taxes, but has “exciting plans” to help grow the business.
