Fuller’s CEO Simon Emeny: Staying positive

Fuller’s has said sales for the first half of the year (for the 26 weeks to 26 September 2020) hit £45.6m, down from £167.1m it made last year. It also reported an adjusted loss before tax of £22.2m compared to a profit of £17.9m last year. “The tightening of the tier system will present further challenges over the winter months, but we welcome the Prime Minister’s comments that we will see the need for restrictions fall away in the spring,” said CEO Simon Emeny. “When the current lockdown was announced, we acted swiftly to implement the lessons learned last time round and this latest closure has been made with minimal stock losses.
