Nick Wood, chief executive officer, commented: “Whilst trading in parts of the business has been weaker than expected, the core strategic drivers are performing well and in order to support their growth, we continue to invest in our colleagues and seamless shopping experience.
“Our full year profit outlook is broadly in line with market expectations.”
It has opened six stores plus two sites under its dogs brand Barkers during the period, as well as ten grooming salons and 15 vets’ practices.
