(Picture: PA Archive)The scale of the impact of the wave of rail strikes on London’s hospitality trade was laid bare today as shares in pub chain Fuller’s slumped after it revealed a £4 million hit from industrial action.
In a trading update for 43 weeks to January 21, the Chiswick-based firm said the knock-on effect of the disputes were eroding its profits, warning they would come in below City expectations, as thousands of train cancellations forced workers to stay at home, leaving the capital a ghost town on strike days.
