Director Martin Greenhow says, “I think many in the industry are feeling a bit of a pinch this year so it’s great that we are bucking the trend.

“The improvement in results is due to the company’s refocus on guest experience through staff training and development following the strategic realignment of the direction of the business.

“The recruitment of James Hudson as head of Training, Business Development and Human Resources as part of the implementation of our in-house training facility, has been a huge contribution to this increase in turnover.”

The chain’s Liverpool branch achieved fame when Ed Sheeran danced around and sang on the barl, along with the cast of Hollyoaks.
