4imprint tumbled after it reported the pandemic had wiped out its profits for the latest year.
Pre-tax profits at the group, which makes things like branded bags and water bottles, dropped 93pc to just $3.84m (£2.76m), with Covid-19 having a âdevastatingâ impact on trading.
It said weekly order counts hit a low of 20pc of pre-pandemic levels last April, but gradually recovered to a run-rate of about 70pc by the final quarter. They fell back again to 65pc of pre-virus levels in January and February this year, a drop which the group attributed to weakness after the busy festive period.
