20 January 2011 09:58
Home furniture and women's fashion retailer Laura Ashley has said that full-year profits are likely to be "significantly higher" than predicted.
In the group's interim management statement released on December 16th, the company said that it was confident that full-year trading would be ahead of expectations although since then the business has performed better than expected.
The company added today that, based on a strong like-for like performance over Christmas and early January, it now expects profits before tax to be "significantly higher" than earlier expectations.
