North west's Shiko Group approaches £10m turnover
Shiko Group is predicting its biggest year to date.
North west bar and kitchen operator Shiko Group is predicting its biggest year to date, projecting a turnover of £9.2m.
In what has been a fast period of growth for the Anthony Ellis-led outfit, predictions for its 2025/26 financial year forecast revenues to grow to £14m.
It has been six years since Shiko acquired its first venue, The Lawn Club in Manchester.
Since 2019, it has grown to eight venues across Manchester and Leeds, including Side Street (pictured), Courts Club, The Lawn Club, The Dome, The Stables and Foley’s in Manchester, alongside its two Leeds locations Fearns and The Canary.
"From the offset, [co-founder] Jonathan [Ware] and I have looked to create ‘Unique Venues and Unforgettable Experiences’, and much of the success is not only down to our fantastic collection of venues, but the hard work of our agile and adaptable team, without whom none of this would be possible," says Ellis. "The future’s certainly very bright."
Shiko Group was born out of its sister company and events specialists WePop, and named after co-founder Ellis’s late mother Yoshiko.
