UK: Timothy Taylor & Co. Limited reports turnover up by around 5% to £15.9 million
Accounts filed this week at Companies House show turnover up by around 5% to £15.9m from £15.1m for its most recent financial year, The Morning Advertiser posted June 21.
Pre-tax profit rose to a healthy £3.54m for the year ended 30 September 2005 from £3.25m the year before.
The brewery, which has 29 pubs, sells 90% of its beer to the free trade.
Charles Dent, managing director of Timothy Taylor, said: “We’ve had continual growth in beer sales for seven years, doubling our production to 50,000 barrels a year.”
In 1858, Timothy Taylor began brewing beer in Cook Lane in the West Riding town of Keighley. He clearly struck upon a successful formula for in 1863 he set up and built a larger brewery at Knowle Spring, where the company has remained ever since.
