Figures released this week show just how difficult Gordon Ramsay has found the current economic slowdown. Accounts show there has been an 87% fall in profits for Gordon’s London restaurants.
Ambitious expansion plans and the recession have meant that Gordon and his business partner have had to put 5 million pounds into the business to prevent collapse. This article explains the situation further.
