SSP, owner of Upper Crust, is on track for annual earnings to rise nearly a third, driven by strong summer trading and improved UK business performance.
The group's retail establishments in the UK and Ireland experienced a 9% like-for-like sales surge due to increased air travel demand and reduced rail strike disruptions.
SSP Group CEO Patrick Coveney noted ongoing positive trading momentum throughout the fourth quarter, anticipating significant increases in profitability and margins year-on-year.
Despite strong results in the UK, SSP faced challenges in Continental Europe, reporting only 3% sales growth due to underwhelming performance in France.
