Mission Mars has reported that group revenues jumped 25.4% to £116.5m for the year ended 28 September 2025, up from £92.9m in the previous year.
The operator of Albert’s Schloss and Rudy’s Napoletana attributed its performance to revenue growth across both core brands, with Rudy’s generating £62.2m and its bars division contributing £53.8m.
The group’s like-for-like core revenue grew by 5.1%, driven by a 9.1% increase at Rudy’s and a 0.7% rise across its bars.
During 2025, the company opened seven new Rudy’s sites. Cash at bank also increased to £5.7m during the 12-month period, up from £5.2m in the year prior, while Mission Mars completed a share buyback of 97,500 shares.
However, management noted in Mission Mars’ filing at Companies House that the sector continued to face numerous challenges during the financial year. The company introduced a variety of mitigation measures, including investments in technology to improve speed of service and staffing efficiency.
For the 2026 financial year, the group plans to open six new Rudy’s venues. Operational priorities include expanding its management training academies, rolling out energy-reducing initiatives, and finalising a timeline to reach a net-zero carbon position.
The group reported record-low team turnover for a fifth consecutive year alongside improved colleague engagement scores. Net promoter scores, which measure customer satisfaction, reached 84.5 across the group.
Roy Ellis, chief executive of Mission Mars, said: “Improving colleague engagement, reducing team turnover and delivering industry-leading NPS scores were again key areas of focus for the year.
“I am pleased to report our colleague engagement scores improved throughout the year, retention rates continued to improve, resulting in record-low team turnover for a fifth consecutive year.”
