Aiken survives Brooks fiasco to record profit in UK

This year may be one that Aiken Promotions will want to forget about quickly, what with the Garth Brooks concerts debacle, but new figures show its UK arm recorded profits of over €230,000 last year.

Accounts just filed by Aiken Promotions Ltd to Companies House in the UK show the firm boosted its fortunes by £183,793 (€232,472) in the 12 months to the end of January 2014.

The firm’s accumulated profits last year increased from £1.09m to £1.27m while its cash pile reduced from £6m to £4m.
