25 July 2018 – AGM statement
The group has issued a trading update covering the 13 week period to 1 July confirming that this was in line with expectations, with revenues 15.5% higher than the same period in the previous year. This increase was mainly due to the acquisition of Merlyn which became part of the group last November. Although the UK retail sector continues to be challenging, the group expects to make further progress during the rest of the year and the shares remain a BUY.
