Pets at Home has posted a 4.7 per cent rise in its retail like-for-like revenues for the 12-week period to 3 January. In addition its veterinary group like-for-like revenues rose by 9.1 per cent. Across the group, revenue grew by 6.3 per cent to £237.2 million with like-for-like sales up by 5.1 per cent.
Peter Pritchard, Pets at Home group chief executive, said: “Momentum in retail accelerated over the festive period, culminating in the biggest trading day of our entire history on the Saturday before Christmas. Our omni-channel business delivered exceptional performance, benefiting from investments made earlier in the year, including a new mobile website.”
Pritchard added: “We are working closely across the group to maximise our assets and data as a pet care business, delivering initiatives that are resulting in an even better experience for customers. With the executive team appointments now complete, I know that we enter 2019 with growing momentum and we are well placed to deliver on our plans and commitments.”
