The Somerfield group has announced its second quarter results and executive chairman John von Spreckelsen believes that both its supermarket chains are enjoying sales growth with its recovery programme back on track.
Sales in the period ending November 8 saw like-for-like sales rise by 1.4 per cent, against a 0.5 per cent increase in the first three months.
The group is three-and-a-half years into its five-year turnaround programme and von Spreckelsen is confident that business will return to health on time. He said: "The performance of the Somerfield stores continued to improve, benefiting from good growth achieved from the refit programme. Similarly, the Kwik Save investment programme has been rolled out to 32 stores in the first half of the year, which are showing encouraging growth."
