International fashion group's autumn ranges well received
Group sales soared at H&M by 10 per cent in September. The retailer said it experienced weak sales during the first two weeks of the month, but this was bolstered by healthier sales in the later part of the month.

The 10 per cent rise in September is compared with a 6 per cent advance for the same month last year.

H&M operates in 20 countries, employing 40,000 people across Europe and the US. It runs 86 stores in the UK and more than 1,000 worldwide.
