Dixons Carphone has announced “excellent” results for the year, with group like-for-like revenues up 5% with growth across all businesses and categories.

Revenues in the UK and Ireland were up 6%, driven by mobile phone market share gain together with strong growth in electricals.

Seb James, group chief executive, said: “Against the backdrop of consumer environments in the UK and Nordics that are a bit sluggish, big shifts in the market in Spain and extreme political and economic turmoil in Greece last year, this is a terrific result. Each and every one of the 42,000 people who make up this mighty company should feel very proud to be part of this result, which I think is unique in UK retail and in our sector across the world.”

He added: “There has been much commentary about the state of mind of UK consumers. Our view is that consumers are ready to spend but have - rightly - become more canny, and so need to be tempted with great deals and exciting new products. We see this as encouraging; after all, launching new technology well, creating fun events and coming up with great deals for customers in both the digital and physical worlds is our stock-in-trade.”
