Gear4 Music's Christmas trading boosted

Gear4 Music’s Christmas trading has seen a strong increase compared to 2014.

The AIM-listed company posted a trading up on Wendesday, which showed a 37% increase in sales for 1 November to 31 December 2014.

That was driven by strong growth in both the UK and Europe, as well as dispatching and delivering goods seven days a week during the Christmas period helped to increase online sales.

"We remain confident that as we continue to enhance our websites, extend our product ranges and strengthen our fulfilment systems, we will deliver results in line with market expectations for the financial year ending 29 February 2016,” said chief executive Andrew Wass.
