TFG London posts strong Christmas sales

TFG London has reported strong growth in sales through the Christmas trading period. This, the company said, represents a continuation of the positive momentum of the first 9 months of the year in which TFG London sales increased by 42 percent to 318.8 million pounds, with comparable sales growth of 3.5 percent. Over the month of December, the company added, comparable sales grew 4.7 percent, underpinned by strong post Black Friday trade as well as an excellent response to the launch of sale.

Commenting on the trading update, Ben Barnett, Chief Executive of TFG London, said in a statement: “The positive sales momentum that we have seen throughout the year to date has continued through our Christmas trading period and into the launch of sale. In a challenging market environment, it is the strength of our brand teams in store and at head office that differentiate us from our peer group, and our continued growth is testament to their hard work and dedication.”

“Despite a weak underlying market, I firmly believe that the operational strength of our brands, together with that of our balance sheet, will continue to present us with opportunities for growth,” added Lee Harlow, Managing Director of TFG London.
