Warhammer owner Games Workshop reveals profits hit from surge in costs
The cost of hiring new staff, paying existing ones more, and investing in new facilities has led to a drop in profits at the games retailer and miniatures manufacturer Games Workshop.
Pre-tax profits for the six months to the end of November fell by 4% to £88.2m, despite a 3% rise in sales to £191.5m.
The company, best known for its Warhammer game, said that its cost base included additional shipping and freight costs of £2m in the wake of Brexit over the period.
