Joules posts 19.2 percent rise in Christmas sales

Joules in its trading update for the seven-week period to January 7, 2018 said that the company delivered a strong performance with total retail sales up 19.2 percent against the comparable period last year.

Commenting on the Christmas trading, Colin Porter, Joules CEO, said in a statement: "The group's retail performance through the Christmas trading period is testament to the strength of the Joules brand, unique product proposition and customer engagement."

The growth, the company said, was driven by continued growth across both the store and ecommerce channels and retail gross margin, over the same period, is expected to be in line with the prior year.
