Bury’s JD Sports announce Christmas sales up 12%

Bury-based JD Sports released their Christmas statement, showing that for the five weeks to 3 January 2015 sales were up 12%.

These results mean that the retail company expect to announce profits before tax of £90 million for the financial year.

“This result is testimony to the strength of the JD Brand and its commitment to providing its customers with unrivalled choice, quality and excitement as the leading retailer of Sports Fashion.

“On behalf of the Board I would like to thank our entire team for their continued hard work and significant contribution towards this success.”
