Hallenstein Glasson has reported a 10.1% increase in group turnover for the first 18 weeks of the 2025 financial year.
The company attributed the rise to the comparison with a weaker 2024 financial year.
The trading update, which includes the impact of the recent Black Friday promotional event, was shared at the company's annual meeting of shareholders.
Hallenstein Glasson said its gross margin percentage remained stable, despite a broader market trend of deeper and more prolonged discounting.
However, it cautioned that the result should not be seen as indicative of the full season, as the crucial four weeks of Christmas trading are still ahead.
