Rotherham-based butchers the Crawshaw Group have reported that overall sales have increased to £11.8 million (2013: £9.8 million).

Unaudited profit before income tax came in at £673k compared to £299k last year.

They did not profide the audited results for the previous year.

Chairman Richard Roe said: “Looking towards the second half of the year our core business is performing in line with expectations.

“Like for like sales for the first 8 weeks of the second half are up 5% and gross margin higher than our first half performance.

“In July 2014 we closed our small market site in Sheffield now that our high street store, almost opposite, is trading well and we expect to open our new factory shop in Hellaby at the beginning of November, being slightly behind our original timetable.

“The Board are very excited about our accelerated store opening programme and we are starting to build our resource and capability so that we are in a position to deliver opportunities through 2015.
