CURRYS and PC World owner Dixons Retail bucked the gloom in UK retailing by revealing a bigger-than-expected surge in sales.
The group said improved ranges and service helped lift like-for-like sales by 8% in the UK and Ireland in the 16 weeks to April 28.
Dixons, which has about 640 stores in the UK and Ireland as well as outlets across Europe, is forecasting annual profits to be near the top end of City expectations at £65m to £70m.
