Boohoo says its sales are due to smash targets as the latest bout of lockdown restrictions sent profits soaring - despite being embroiled in controversy over claims it was using suppliers who exploited their workers.
The online fashion retailer said group revenues jumped 40 per cent to £660.8 million on the back of strong Christmas and Black Friday sales.
Its revenue growth is expected to be between 36 per cent and 38 per cent for the financial year to February - soaring ahead of the predicted 28 per cent to 32 per cent growth.
The company s financial success follows a newly-published report claiming Boohoo is making excellent progress to ensure its suppliers have suitable factory conditions after the exploitation scandal last year.
