Longs of Leeds posts rise in profit and turnover

Longs of Leeds says it is "satisfied" with its latest financial results, which show a rise in profit and turnover.

Pre-tax profit at the company, based in Crossgates, Leeds, for the year to September 2010, shot up 76% to £325,996 - from £185,149 in 2009.

Turnover also rose 6.84% to £12.5m from £11.7m the previous year.

Its directors report posted at Companies House last week says: "The directors are satisfied with the results for the year and are confident that the company will continue at its current level of activity for the foreseeable future.

"Given the straightforward nature of the business, the company's directors are of the opinion that analysis using key performance indicators is not necessary for an understanding of the developments, performance or position of the business."
