ETM has today reported a record year for Christmas and NYE trading. The five weeks ending 31st December saw a healthy 34.4% growth in overall sales and a 10.8% increase in like-for-like sales.
This successful result is a clear demonstration of ETM’s transformational year and the positive impact recent change has had on the business.
Ed Martin, ETM founder commented, “We are thrilled with our Christmas and NYE results which included a record week before Christmas where we exceeded £1m in sales. 34.4% sales growth with carefully managed costs has resulted in a very healthy increase in profit for the period. I would also like to thank our dedicated team for their efforts to deliver this result.
'2018 will see continued site roll out and the development of a new sales division helping to further drive the group’s performance. With an unmissable year of sport - Superbowl, Six Nations, World Cup, Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup - Greenwood, Broadleaf and Long Arm are looking very promising for the year ahead.”
The company has instigated its three-pillar brand strategy around Great British Dining, Vibrant Bars and Craft Pubs which has set in motion a platform for scalable expansion evidenced by Aviary, (Finsbury Square) & Greenwood’s (Victoria) first year of successful trading and the encouraging start for Broadleaf, a new bar in the City.
