Ted Baker sales soar

Ted-Baker-storeTed Baker sales grew 14.2 per cent in the 19 weeks to June 10, party driven by international expansion.

During the quarter, the lifestyle fashion retailer opened new stores in Los Angeles, Paris, and Shanghai, its first Dutch outlet in Roermond and further concession openings in premium department stores in France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands and the UK. Stores in Miami Aventura and Tokyo were relocated.

Ray Kelvin CBE, founder and CEO, said the continued good performance across all distribution channels reflects the strength and appeal of Ted Baker as a global lifestyle brand.

“The continued expansion of the brand remains underpinned by an unwavering focus on quality and attention to detail as well as the passion, skill and dedication of our team.”
