Famous Brands, which bought the UK’s GBK chain for £120m in 2016, has already written down the value of that business by more than R1bn

Famous Brands, whose portfolio includes Steers, Wimpy and Mugg & Bean, says earnings in the year to end-February fell by up to a third as losses widened at its troubled UK burger chain.

GBK has been struggling because of lower consumer confidence amid Brexit talks, the rise of online food delivery and intense competition in the premium burger segment. Famous Brands said on Monday that its basic headline earnings per share in the year ended February fell between 16% and 33%.
