BRITAIN'S largest workwear supplier has seen profits soar.
Johnson Service Group achieved turnover of £364m for the year ending December 25, up 57 per cent on the previous 12 months. Pre-tax profits rose 62 per cent to £15.7m.
The company bought seven smaller firms for a total of £31.2m last year. Its customers include Corus, Sainsbury and Cadbury.
Chairman Simon Sherrard chairman said: "The major reshaping of the group, accomplished over the last two years, has created a unique support services enterprise."
In January, Johnson, which also has a dry cleaning chain, bought Dewhirst Corporate Clothing, based in Peterlee, County Durham, for £23.8m.
