N Brown Group, the owner of JD Williams, Simply Be and Jacamo, has posted a drop in first quarter sales after poor early spring weather and low consumer confidence impacted trade.
The 13-week period to 3 June saw the group’s product sales and financial revenue decline by 11.9% and 6.3% respectively. This meant that group revenue decreased by 9.9% to £147.8 million.
N Brown has been investing in a new mobile first website for Jacamo following the launch of a new Simply Be website in the previous financial year. It has also launched a new partnership for Jacamo with LADbible.
N Brown said its expectations for its full year remain unchanged.
