Morrisons in profits hike
Thursday 13th March 2008, 8:11AM GMT.
Supermarket chain Morrisons which has branches across the Black Country and Staffordshire has nearly doubled its profits.
The supermarket today reported pre-tax profits for 2007 of £612m, up from £369m in 2006 as long-standing chairman Sir Ken Morrison retired from his post.
Like-for-like sales at the Bradford based grocer, excluding fuel sales, rose 4.6%, down from the 5.2% in 2007.
The results suggest the chain, the UK’s fourth-largest, has revived its fortunes after buying Safeway in 2004.
