On the final episode of season three we sit down with Claire Watkin, CEO of The Fine Bedding Company, a fourth-generation business founded in 1912. She shares how the brand has performed in recent years and what its proposition really stands for today. We explore balancing heritage with innovation, building sustainability into products and operations, and the journey to a zero-waste eco-factory in Estonia. Claire also unpacks earning consumer trust, making the investment case, and her advice to the next generation of leaders.

Games Workshop Group, the creator of Warhammer, saw group revenues soar 31% year-on-year to £353.2m for the year ended 30 May 2021.

The Nottingham-based miniature wargames provider also reported a 68.8% spike in FY21 profit before tax when compared to the previous year.

The company’s trade operation consisted of 55% of total sales, with retail and online sales totalling 20% and 25% respectively.

While this represented a 6% rise in online sales as a percentage of total group sales during the period, retail sales as a percentage fell by 9%.

This was largely impacted by government restrictions, and a net global store closure of eight at the group, with the UK’s number of shops dropping from 140 to 138 during the period.

Kevin Rountree, CEO at Games Workshop, said: “After a tough year we are delighted that the Warhammer hobby and Games Workshop are in great shape; thanks to everyone involved and thanks to everyone that continues to keep us safe and well.”

Earnings per share also climbed to 372.7p, a year-on-year increase of over 70% from FY20’s 218.7p.
