Crawshaws Fundamentals (CRAW)

I'm a sucker for Greggs sausage rolls. My wife has warned me.....it her or Greggs sausage rolls. (Sigh) I think I'll just heat this one up in the microwave. :o)

LOL.

Crawshaw Group plc (the "Company") (AIM: CRAW), announces that on 11 February 2014 it received notification that following a disposal of 620,000 ordinary shares on 11 February 2014, Stuart Hawthorne no longer holds a disclosable interest in the ordinary shares of the Company.

Thatl mean he wont get his annual pasty allowance.

I see they are doing 2 x 8oz sirloin steaks for just £5.00 - what about for her?

A dozen eggs.

Done!

LOL.

Crawshaw will be opening a new shop in late March at The Moor, Sheffield.

Have you been to pick up your 2 steaks for a fiver yet GF?!

Trading Update

Richard Rose, Chairman of Crawshaw, the meat focussed retailer, provides the following update on current trading:

"On 6 January 2014 I reported on an excellent Christmas trading period, which would result in profit for the year being 'materially higher than current market expectations'.

I'm now delighted to report that in the weeks since then, leading up to our year end 31 January 2014, both sales and margin were particularly strong. As a result we now expect our profits for the full year to 31 January 2014 to be further ahead of current market expectations.

I am also delighted to report that strong growth has continued into the new financial year.

Our plans to open additional shops are progressing well and we expect to open a new high street store towards the end of March 2014."

We expect to announce our full year results at the end of April, 2014.

Tasty! :o)

Pop! (technical term).

Well done skinny, nice + 20%

Crackling! (culinary term)! 😃

CRAW paid a maiden dividend of 0.20p on 31st July, 2013; it will be interesting to see if they can hike that up this year.

Crawshaws’ pigs are flying high

Nice write up Skinny!

Ive had them 2 steaks for a fiver.

Pretty good aswel, mind Im a crap cook but they tasted ok to me.

Those cooked chickens look pretty nice.

Glad you enjoyed them GF! Future looking rosy but the business could get the chop at any time! :o)
I think there is a good future here, just hope they don't expand too quickly (I think I may have said that before!) they'll get a roasting if they do!
