Electrical retailer Dixons Carphone is expected to announce a rise in pre-tax profits, up by 9% to a total of approximately £487.5m. The company was able to record the figures despite the increasingly difficult economic climate, with the financial impacts of Brexit still being felt a year on. Seb James, chief executive at Dixons Carphone, had stated in January that the retailer is prepared to work through the difficult coming period and remained hopeful that UK shoppers will continue spending with credit while borrowing is cheap.
