Pre-tax profits jumped by 56.3 per cent to £91.6 million for the six months to November 29, compared with the same period last year. 

Half-year sales rose 27 per cent to £168.8 million, lifted by big online and wholesale trading gains. The company is now valued at around £3.8 billion. Kevin Rountree, chief executive, said it was: ‘Another cracking performance from a truly amazing, global team.’
