ScS said that on a two-year basis, like-for-like order intake has risen 12.5%, and that trading over the important January Sales period was also in line with management expectations.

The retailer said: ”We remain mindful that the group still faces the key Easter and May bank holiday trading periods and faces very strong comparatives during the remainder of the year. 

”The board believes the business remains in a strong position to maximise opportunities as they arise and to grow market share.”
