The Works sees sales cool down

Retailer The Works has warned that its pre-tax profits will beat the lower end of market expectations thanks to the impact of Brexit uncertainty on sales.

In an up date for the 52 weeks to 28 April, the group said revenue was up 13.2 per cent and like -for-like sales had increased by 3 per cent. It said like-for-like sales had softened since the beginning of 2019, as economic and political uncertainty dragged.
