Financial figures are pleasing, says Pets at Home CEO
|
“In a year of significant capital and revenue investment and against a challenging economic and retail background it is extremely pleasing to report further growth in turnover and profit," said Chief Executive Nick Wood.
"Encouragingly, from these investments we have built good momentum into the current financial year with like for like sales growth of 3.2% for the first half of the year to 11 October 2012.
“Since I joined Pets at Home in June 2012 I have been impressed with the talent and enthusiasm of our management team and our colleagues throughout the business. These results serve to underline the quality of the whole team.
“Whilst there remains a great deal of uncertainty for consumers with little prospect of any real improvement in disposable incomes in the near future, we remain focused on delivering exceptional value for our customers.
"We believe that this, together with new stores and trading formats, new product and service innovations and the continued exceptional engagement of our colleagues will be the basis of another year of growth.”
