Change at the top for Burberry as H1 sales rise 20%
15/10/2013
Under Ms Ahrendts, who led the UK’s largest luxury company for almost eight years, sales more than doubled to about £2 billion pounds ($3.2 billion).
First-half retail sales rose 20% to £694 million pounds, with outerwear and large leathergoods driving half of that growth.
Ms Ahrendts said: “Burberry is in brilliant shape, having built the industry's most powerful management team, converted the business to a dynamic digital global retailer, created a world class supply chain, state of the art technology infrastructure, sensational brand momentum and one of the most closely connected creative cultures in the world today."
