| Purity announces ‘phenomenal’ year-end results |
| |
We’re celebrating today because we’ve released our financial results for 2008/09. The highlights are:
• Our 2008/09 turnover grew to £1.37m, from £751,000 in the previous financial year. This is an increase of 83 per cent and exceeded our target turnover of £1.1m by 24 per cent.
• We sold almost 1.4m pints of our three award-winning beers, Mad Goose, Pure UBU and Pure Gold.
• We’re now selling our beers in approximately 400 pubs, compared to around 200 outlets a year ago.
• Our staff numbers have increased by 100% from six to 12.
Our MD, Paul Halsey, said: “We’ve had a phenomenal year but the company will not be resting on its laurels. In fact, we are beginning our 2009/10 financial year on a high as a result of new contracts that are now coming into effect.
“The most recent is our partnership with Adnams, the Suffolk coastal brewer, which will see it sell our brands to its direct trading footprint, which covers the south east, including London, and the east of England. We also signed a deal with Mitchells & Butlers to supply Pure UBU to around 50 of its pubs in the Midlands region.
“We are committed to further investment in the business to cater for our future growth and, as such, we are building a new shop, sales office and meeting rooms, which will open at the end of October 2009.”
