Pub group Marston’s has served up a profitable performance in autumn and winter, with its strategy delivering margin growth.<\/p>\n
Chief executive Justin Platt said the business is “excited for the summer months ahead”.<\/p>\n
It generated \u00a319m profits in the six months to March, a big improvement on its underlying, break-even performance a year earlier. That was achieved on almost exactly the same revenues of \u00a3427m.<\/p>\n
Marston’s is one of the country’s largest pub groups and employs 10,000 people across more than 1,300 UK pubs.<\/p>\n
Platt, who has led the business since January 2024, said: “The first half has been a period of significant momentum for Marston’s, with the execution of a market leading pub operating model, investment in our differentiated pub formats and progress in our digital transformation driving strong margin and profit growth.<\/p>\n
“We remain confident in achieving our financial goals for the full year and focused on executing our strategy as a pure play hospitality company to deliver sustainable growth and increasing returns for our shareholders.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
