Sales with women's clothing retailer Bonmarché fell by 3.6 per cent for the quarter of 2016

Like-for-like (“LFL”) sales declined by 8.1 per cent with the Wakefield-based group and blamed bad weather for the decline.

A spokesman said: “It is not unusual for external conditions to create significant variations in quarterly performance, and therefore our expectation for the full year remains unchanged on the assumption that trading conditions normalise through the autumn season. The Company’s financial position remains sound.
