SHARES in home shopping firm Findel continued to rise amid high hopes for its budget fashion website Studio.

Studio has more than 1.7m users and helped fuel a 15.8pc boost in Findel’s retail division Express Gifts in the half year.

The site sells cut-price homeware and branded clothing from fashion retailers such as Lipsy.

Findel said the brand is ‘attractive and relevant to value-conscious customers’.

Shares were up 3.8pc, or 7.5p, at 203.5p.
