Liverpool-based B&M European Value Retail said its total sales revenue increased 22.9% to £969.8 million in the quarter ended December 23.

B&M CEO Simon Arora said: “B&M continues to go from strength to strength.

“Despite the demanding comparatives from the very strong Christmas in 2016, our buying, supply chain and retail teams achieved another outstanding performance this year by doing what we do best, which is delivering great value for customers week-in, week-out.

“With Heron also performing well and Jawoll having a solid quarter, I’m delighted with our progress and on behalf of the board I would like to thank all of our colleagues for their hard work and commitment.”
