Nero Group, the parent company of coffee chain Caffè Nero, has reported a significant surge in sales for the first half of its current financial year.

The company achieved record-breaking sales of £310 million for the six months ending November 2024, representing an 8% like-for-like increase and 13.6% overall growth, as reported by .

In the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, Caffè Nero's sales reached £185.4 million, a notable 11.4% rise, while sales in Turkey and Sweden saw increases of 12% and 9% respectively.

With a global presence of approximately 1,120 stores across 11 countries and a workforce of 11,000 employees, Nero Group's impressive performance is a testament to its continued success.

The results precede the publication of Caffè Nero's full-year results, expected by the end of the month, which follow the company's previous financial year performance of £450.4 million in revenue and £7.3 million in pre-tax profit, alongside the creation of over 1,000 new jobs.

This positive news contrasts with rival Costa Coffee's reported pre-tax loss of £9.6 million in 2023, despite a revenue increase of over £100 million.

Founded in 1997 by Gerry Ford, Caffè Nero was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2001 before transitioning to a private company in 2007.

Ford, who serves as the company's CEO, expressed optimism about the results, stating, "The first half was very encouraging."
