Yorkshire Tea maker Bettys & Taylors has seen revenues top £250m despite "significant trading challenges".
The Harrogate-based group comprises five Bettys tearooms, an online business, a craft bakery, a cookery school and tea and coffee merchant Taylors of Harrogate. Accounts show that in the year to the end of October 2021 the group made an operating profit of £11.9m, down from £15m the year previously.
Directors said that despite the tearooms suffering periods of closure during Covid restrictions, the group maintained tea and coffee production at Taylors, and continued to operate its craft bakery. Meanwhile Betty's online delivery services "flourished", driven by demand from new and existing customers.
