CAKE Box has reported a rise in sales as the retailer continues to enjoy stellar growth.

The firm, which debuted on London’s junior AIM market in June, said like-for-like sales grew 6.5pc in the year to March 31, with total revenue set to rise 30pc to £17.1m.

It expects profits for 2019 to be in line with current market expectations.

Cake Box started as a single site in east London in 2008 and launched as a franchise a year later.
