Fuller’s is Gearing Up for a Feast‑Full Christmas
Booking Boom & Numbers That’ll Make Your Wallet Smile
Fuller’s is saying, “We’re all set for a bomb‑town Christmas!” After an 11 % jump in bookings and a six‑month revenue of £14.9 million (up from £10.7 million last year), the company is feeling pretty giddy.
- Full year sales: +12 % – £188.8 million in the last six months
- Food trade: +15.5 % YoY – because who doesn’t love a tasty holiday menu?
- Accommodation revenue: +13.4 % – 376 pubs & hotels across the UK are packing up
- Drink sales: +10.9 % – cheers to that!
CEO Simon Emeny Keeps the Spirits High
Simon Emeny, the guy in front of the company, says, “We’ve made strong progress all year, even when the economy was playing a wonky melody.” He notes that like‑for‑like sales in the first 32 weeks rose by 11.7 % and that the City’s trade is still on the up‑and‑up.
Even if the Tube or trains decide to give us a surprise strike, Emeny’s still picturing a merry holiday with a smile. With “exciting plans in the pipeline”, Fuller’s is stepping into the second half of the year all geared up and feeling confident.
All‑In‑One: What It Means for the Christmas Crowd
Fuller’s is showing that no matter the economic cough, the turnstiles at their pubs and hotels are still busy. That means the festive season is going to be lively, full of good food, great drinks, and probably a bit of that “holiday hustle” you usually hear about.
So, if you’re planning to pop into a Fuller’s venue this holiday season, you can do so knowing the place is already set to celebrate with a healthy zest for a merry Christmas!
