Turnover from continuing operations increased by 12.3 per cent, up slightly from the rate of growth the group announced with their preliminary results on 29 April 2008.
Online sales continued to grow and now account for 31 per cent of total sales, increasing by 45 per cent in value. Menswear was the fastest growing product category although ladieswear sales were also encouraging, with customers particularly attracted by the new branded and celebrity designer ranges, the group said.
