Total sales for the period hit £10.8m, an increase of 28.8% on the previous year.

CEO and founder, Peter Borg-Neal, said: "We are extremely pleased with this performance, in a period where we have been rolling over some tough comparables. Our moving annual sales total has now passed through the £40m mark, and we are in good shape, going into our new financial year."

The group has also announced a number of appointments to its leadership team to support future growth including chief investment officer Steve Kenee, whose appointment followed that of chief operating officer Dermot King.
