RAMSAY COOKS UP A PROFIT
GORDON Ramsay shrugged off the acrimonious sacking of his father-in-law Chris Hutcheson last October to post an overall return to profit for his companies yesterday. Cost cuts and the sale of Boxwood Cafe pushed pre-tax profit at Gordon Ramsay Holdings to £2.05m in the year to August 2010, from £0.57m in 2009, although sales fell 13 per cent to £27m. His international division of newer restaurants cut losses to £1.85m, leaving Ramsay with an £0.2m overall profit, up from a £7.7m loss in 2009.
