STOCK WATCH

■ SHARES in Sanderson Design Group have plunged more than 40pc over the last year.

And there was little to cheer in the luxury interior furnishings company’s half-year trading update yesterday.

The company said it ‘retained a rather cautious outlook, mindful of the cost, supply chain and consumer confidence issues that impact the macro-environment’.

Sales barely budged and profit should be in line with the board’s expectations. Shares fell 8pc, or 9p, to 104p.
