Bakery Sector Growth - Congratulations Warburtons!

Congratulations to Warburtons, whose profits rose by more than 30% in 2020, according to the company’s latest accounts. It is fantastic to see growth in the baking sector.



The UK’s largest bread brand reported an operating profit of £24.2m for the 52-week period to 26 September 2020 compared with £18.5m for the same period a year prior – an increase of 30.8%. This improved profitability was attributed to volume growth, strong cost management and lower exceptional costs, although this was partially offset by higher Covid-19 related costs. Turnover, meanwhile, increased by 10% from £503.8m to £556m.
