Home furnishing retailer Dunelm has posted a drop in profits for the year to 1 July, seeing profit fall to £92.4 million from £128.9 million in the previous year. Total sales for the company grew by 8.5% to £955.6 million, whilst like-for-like sales also fell. Despite this, the retailer said sales in the first two months of the new financial year have started “positively”, with good sales boosted by favourable weather in the period.
