We delivered a resilient performance, including increased profitability, for the 52 weeks to 1 July 2011, allowing for a continued programme of investment for the future.
Although the economic environment remains uncertain, we have improved profitability despite a slight fall in like for like turnover, reflecting the emphasis that we have placed on strengthening our balance sheet.
Most importantly we have continued the momentum of building a solid and successful business based on targeted investment. These results are a strong and creditable achievement and one which places us in an excellent position for the future.
