Kiely hopes to bag foreign market

RENOWNED fashion designer Orla Kiely is hoping an overseas expansion and an increased number of retail outlets will boost revenues by 20% for her company.

Ms Kiely’s views are contained in accounts filed by Kiely Rowan plc, which show revenue at the London-based firm increased by 11%, from £7 million (€7.97m) to £7.89m in the 12 months to the end of March.

Pre-tax profits dropped by 9.6%, from £468,479 to £423,277.
