Smales is back in the black as new generation of fish and chip customers help sales surge

A new generation of fish and chip shop customers has been welcomed by Hull supplier Smales after sales increased 16 per cent and it swung back into profit.

The 85-year-old company saw turnover hit £73.4 million in the year to August 31 - up from £62.9 million in the previous period.

Back in the black with an operating profit of £1.6 million, results just released by the West Dock Street operator document a strong recovery from losses of £674,000 in 2019 and £241,000 in 2020.
