Fashion e-tailer Asos has posted a barnstorming set of interim results for the six months to September 30 and revealed that sales have doubled in the past nine weeks.
The retailer registered a pre-tax profit of£2.4 million for the period, compared with just£300,000 in the same period last year.
Asos chief executive Nick Robertson said: “Particularly pleasing is the increase in profit, which has been delivered as a result of gross margin improvements of 4.7 per cent compared with the same period last year.”
By December 2, Asos had 1.6 million registered users and, according to e-tail traffic monitor Hitwise, Asos.com remains the second most visited online fashion store in the UK, behind Next.
