Topps Tiles sales sink

TOPPS Tiles has reported a 2.3pc fall in sales over the 13 weeks to July 1, which the company said reflected a ‘weaker consumer environment’.

Chief executive Matthew Williams said: ‘The trading environment remained challenging during the third quarter but we are pleased with the resilience of our performance, which we believe remains ahead of the overall tile market.

‘Our business has a marketleading position, remains well-invested and is in a strong position to capitalise on future growth opportunities as they arise.’
