The third quarter includes the key festive trading period. ‘A strong programme of activity around Black Friday and Christmas contributed to 23% revenue growth and 38% gross profit growth versus the month of last year for December. Almost 50% of all Black Friday transactions came from first time customers, up from 42% in 2023, demonstrating improved acquisition of new customers to our brands in this key promotional period.
