KTC logoKTC Edibles, based on Moorcroft Drive in Wednesbury, saw a huge leap in pre-tax profits in the twelve months to 31 December 2019.

The company has reported a rise in pre-tax profits from £3.4m to £6.3m, with turnover also increasing from £266.1m to £290.3m in the year in which it also celebrated its 40th anniversary.
