Fitzers Catering Takes €600k Hit

Fitzers Catering last year recorded a pre-tax loss of €633,537, according to accounts filed earlier this week.

The contract catering firm, which employs 1215 staff, posted the loss in 2014 after generating pre-tax profit of over €1 million the previous year, the Irish Examiner reports.

Last year, Fitzers saw its gross profit slump from €10.3m to €4.76m, while staff costs fell from €4.9m to €3.19m due to the drop in business at the company.
