Online fashion brand Quiz said on Tuesday that revenues had tumbled in 2021 as a result of prolonged periods of store and concession closures during the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Quiz said full-year revenues were £39.7m, reflecting a 66% decline on the £118.0m generated in the prior year, with online revenues dropping 42% to £21.6m, international revenues crashing 65% to £7.6m and UK store and concession revenues tumbling 82% to £10.5m.
