ScS has reported a strong increase in its sales for the 26 weeks to January 23rd, 2021. Gross sales were up by 13.6 per cent for the period, equating to a rise of 13.6 per cent. Online sales had doubled over the period helping to compensate for pandemic lockdowns which saw the business able to open just over half of its stores for the key Boxing Day sale period.
New CEO Steve Carson joined the business on January 6th and a handover process is underway with David Knight who is returning from the business in the summer.
A statement released by the business said: “Given the tactile nature of our products, the majority of customers chose to wait until stores re-opened to try out our products in person before making their purchasing decisions. This resulted in the business benefiting from pent-up demand, coupled with an increased level of investment by UK consumers in their homes.”
