ScS reports that trading over the Christmas and January sales period remained strong for both ScS and House of Fraser, resulting in total like-for-like order intake for the 25 weeks ended 16th January 2016 up 8.8% – "a pleasing result against tough comparatives in the previous year".
As a result the group expects to report profits significantly ahead of current market expectations for the year 2015/2016 shortly.
CEO David Knight comments: “Whilst we still have key trading periods over Easter and the two May bank holidays in the current financial year, we are delighted with the performance over the Christmas and January sales period and for the year to date.”
