- The 309-year-old fine food retailer has experienced record sales following an influx of online shoppers seeking out its British foods, as well as experiencing an increase in popularity of its luxury hampers
The brand, which until 2012 derived 40 per cent of sales from domestic shoppers, notes that 60 per cent of its customers now hail from the UK, and has posted a 12 per cent rise in sales to £98.7m and profits of £6.2m for the year to 10th July.
Kate Hobhouse, chairman said, “Knowing that our recent success impacts so positively on so many UK producers is one of the great pleasures of chairing the business. Our UK suppliers have always been the backbone of our ranges, and we continually nurture new talent wherever it is found.”
