Group sales in the first ten weeks of the new financial year are 3% ahead of last year and we expect our performance to strengthen as the year goes on. Confidence in the group’s prospects is reflected in the Board’s recommendation of an unchanged final dividend of 4.10 pence, making a total of 5.84 pence for the year which is an increase of 1.6% and is covered 2.3 times.
