Dunelm, the Leicester homewares retailer, looks set to post major hikes in both revenue and profit for the year ending July 2.

The firm’s preliminary results, revealed this morning (September 14) show sales up by over 18% to £1.55bn, while profit before tax rose by almost 35% to £209m.

Dunelm says that sales have remained “robust” in the first 10 weeks of its new financial year.

In another year of excellent performance, I am extremely grateful for their skill, commitment and adaptability in the face of new external challenges and during another busy period of progress across the business.

“We feel confident and well prepared to weather the current economic pressures – we emerged from an unprecedented global pandemic as a bigger, better business and we believe we have the tools in place to do that again. That said, the operating and economic environment is extremely challenging.”
