DFS has seen an uptick in order volumes after previously saying the upholstery market was in significant decline during July and August.
In a statement today, the company said trading has improved since early September with order volumes growing relative to the previous financial year and also to pre-pandemic levels three years ago.
DFS said it is on track to achieve a pre-tax profit of around £36 million for the current financial year.
As previously announced, Ian Durant has stepped down as the company’s chair and been succeeded by Steve Johnson at the close of the firm’s AGM today.
