Wadworth reports dip in profits but property revaluation delivers a £32m boost

A revaluation of its property portfolio has delivered a £32m boost to Wadworth after a challenging year which saw sales slip from £67.1m to £66.6m. Pre-tax profits were also down to £2.2m from £2.4m the previous year. However, given the challenging environment the business said it had been a “solid” year for the business, with operating profit up £462k on the year before.
