Ted Baker sales improve

Fashion label Ted Baker today said its sales rose by 10.7% in the run-up to Christmas.

The chain said it traded well across all its fashion collections in the UK and overseas in the period between November 1 to December 24.

Margins were largely in line with last year and there were clean stock levels going into 2006, the designer clothing brand added.

The sales increase builds on a 20.6% improvement in the lead-up to Christmas in 2004.
