Bonmarché Boosted By Online Fashion Demand From Over 50s

Women's clothing chain Bonmarché said sales in the last three months received a major boost from internet sales to its core over 50s shoppers.

The company said online sales in the 13 weeks to March 29 rose 72.8%. That helped like-for-like sales in the same period rise 16.3%.

Like-for-like sales in the period without the benefit of online sales still rose an impressive 13.5%, the company said.

Chief executive officer Beth Butterwick said: 'I'm delighted with our performance. The growth driven through product, stores and multi-channel initiatives demonstrates our customers' positive reaction to our strategy.'

The performance means that total online sales in the year rose 84.2%. The company is expected to release more details in its full-year results on June 13.
