Cornwall’s St Austell Brewery has reported record sales despite bosses citing inflated operating costs, labour shortages and reduced visitor numbers to the South West.
The independent brewer and pub company, which operates an estate of around 180 venues across the region, said annual turnover had grown by a third to £209.2m – up 10% on pre-pandemic levels.
The company, known for its ale brands Tribute and Proper Job, also reported an increased underlying operating profit of £11.4m for 2022.
