Turnaround at Moss Bros

Dec 10 2009 By nebusiness

Moss Bros revealed a sharp turnaround in sales today after benefiting from operational changes and an "impressive" performance in suits.

The menswear retailer, which has 150 stores and also trades as Savoy Taylors Guild and Cecil Gee, said like-for-like sales were up 5.5% in the 18 weeks to December 5. It reported a decline of 2.6% in the six months to August 1.

The improvement comes after the London-based firm reviewed staff training, improved store service and optimised stock levels.
