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.
