There are some signs that the retail consumer is being more cautious so it will be very important that our businesses get the balance right between driving sales and managing margin as we move into the major trading period of the year.”

We are now focused on utilising the platform to provide a more engaging online offer to our customers including the ability to provide access to a much wider range of products than we can carry in our retail stores.”
