Couple reduced dividends to £2.5m in 2023 after profits were hit by higher operating costs at their core group
Jamie Oliver and his wife, Jules, paid themselves a £2.5m dividend last year – nearly two-thirds less than a year before – after launching their company’s first directly owned restaurant since the collapse of the Jamie’s Italian chain.
The couple took home £4.4m less than in 2022 as profits for their core group fell 37% to £3.4m despite a 14% rise in sales to £27m.
