Newly-listed bar company Eclectic Bar Group has updated on trading for the six month period ended December 2013 saying that ‘overall sales for the period are in line with the Board’s expectations.’

The group launched its new site in Deansgate Locks, Manchester on 12 December, following a successful conversion under the group’s Lola Lo brand, and it said it was delighted with the performance of this business.

The refurbishments of the group’s Derby (‘Coyote’) and Brighton (‘Madame Geisha’) sites are progressing to plan and are expected to open in March 2014.

It intends to announce its interim results for the six months ended December 2013 towards the end of March 2014.
