Crawshaws Fundamentals (CRAW)

Trading Update

On the 19th of November 2013 I reported that our like for like sales for the 7 weeks since 26th September were up 18%, and that we would issue a further update following the very important Christmas trading period.

I'm once again delighted to report that management actions are continuing to deliver a progressively improving result, with like for like sales for the 7 weeks to 29th December 2013 up 21%, and once again at a higher gross margin.

With costs very much under control, we now expect the out turn for the full year to end January 2014 to be materially higher than the current market forecast.

We are also delighted to report that on 25th November we opened a further retail outlet, in the new Sheffield covered market, which is trading well, and that we are close to completing the lease on a retail premises, also in Sheffield.

Richard Rose, Chairman of Crawshaw, commented: "Our customers are spending more with us, and we have attracted a lot more customers. This reflects the excellent quality and value we offer. The improvements in trading performance are spread across most of our stores, and this gives me much confidence for the future. We are excited to have been able to restore our store expansion program, albeit in a very controlled manner."

Nice one Skinny. Just like the pies!

In March 2004 Felix Group plc completed a placing and admission to the London Stock Exchange and was listed on AIM. In April 2008 the company was re-admitted to AIM with an enlarged share capital following the reverse acquisition of Crawshaw Group Limited and it was renamed Crawshaw Group plc.

kim do you think they could become given time another Greggs?

Well, they appear to be operating a tight ship and provided they do not expand too quickly anything is possible of course Halifax. I think the sp is becoming a little overinflated but I thought that when it was 12p, so what do I know! :o)

Due a re-rating.

Why didn't you tell us when they were 12p!

I know, I know!! Didn't want to be thought of a ramper! ;o)

I can't remember when I first highlighted it on the CHAR thread, it has moved a bit since then! Like a chicken on skates!

kim well done sp up another 5%

Keep buying those steaks folks! 😳

Well done kim :-)

kim what a winner sp up 16%

I had expected a lot of profit taking today but the sp remained fairly stable so CRAW could still be on a roll. Sausage roll, rolled shoulder of lamb/pork etc. Anything to beef the sp up! :o)
I'll get my coat!

kim we certainly need some good quality butchers and pie shops where we live after they were forced to close by the inexorable advance of the supermarkets whose products are only good for the dustbin.

Agreed that the supermarkets have been instrumental in destroying the meat industry as we used to know it Halifax; I am lucky in as much as we have real butchers and meat breeders here who care passionately about the welfare of their products and their animals (before they kill them! Two edged sword there maybe!!).

As long as you're not horsing around!

kim if you look around you may well ask what did God create the green fields for... and don't say wind turbines!

I have eaten horse meat in France and unwittingly eaten cat meat in a Chinese restaurant in Shrewsbury, many years ago! Chicken chow meow I suppose!

In my youth I thought that green fields were for lying down in with my girlfriend! ;o)

sp up 16% more to come?

Possibly. :o)
