Rotherham’s Crawshaw group buys out East Yorkshire butchers

Rotherham-based Crawshaw Group plc has announced that it has acquired 100% of the share capital of East Yorkshire Beef Limited.

This business operates one premium sector butchers shop in Pocklington, east of York which, for the financial year ended 5th April, 2014 generated a turnover of c. £1.1 million and profits before tax of £22k.

Chairman, Richard Rose comments : “We are very excited about this new development as it gives us a position in the premium segment of our market and provides both a well established retail store and a new supply chain which we could expand across other potential sites and online if we choose.

“Furthermore we believe there are operational synergies that can rapidly enhance the profitability of the acquired store.”
