ASOS sales leap 80 per cent

710,000 items (285,000 orders) successfully shipped across November and December 2006.

Nick Robertson, the Chief Executive, commenting on Christmas trading, said ‘We had a great Christmas. The fact that we continue to outperform the online market in general, is testament to our buyers, our proposition, and the enduring appeal of ASOS amongst our core customer base.
Due to the warehouse closure last year, we do not have a comparative for thewhole Christmas period. Current trading is in line with internal forecasts and at this stage we estimate our profit before tax for the full year will be in line with market expectations.’
