Bensons for Beds made a return to operating profitability in the five months 30 September as its transformation programme gathered momentum.
In addition, the retailer saw its like-for-like sales increase by 10.5% in the seven weeks to 15 January.
Bensons attributed the growth to investment in its omnichannel strategy which included a new ecommerce platform, product innovation and the acceleration of store relocations and refurbishments.
During the five month period, Bensons turned over £101.9 million and delivered an operating profit of £1.6 million. This compares to revenue of £148.4 million and an operating loss on continuing operations of £24.9 million in the ten months to 30 April 2021.
