Joint chief executives of Boohoo.com, Carol Kane and Mahmud Kamani, said: "We are pleased to report a successful first half, with strong revenue growth driven by acquiring new customers through our investments in price, promotions and marketing spend. We continue to invest in our brand internationally and our strategy to focus on key markets where we see the greatest growth potential remains unchanged.
