Gordon Ramsay Restaurants moves into the black with £0.5m pre-tax profit

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, the parent company for the chef's dining empire, has reported a pre-tax profit of £540,000.

In the full-year results for the year ending 31 August 2018, the company reported a 30% boost to adjusted earnings, rising to £5.2m from the previous year's £4m.

Turnover also experienced a slight uptick, rising from £51.4m in 2017 to £53.6m across the period.

It follows a year of consolidation for the firm as it looks to rebrand Maze in London's Grosvenor Square, which will relaunch as Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay.

The results, which heralded the "group's strength and its ability to develop successful global restaurant brands" noted the firm was actively looking for new restaurant locations across the UK and internationally.
