Mon, 29th Jun 2020 16:31

Stanley Gibbons Group PLC - London-based collectible postage stamp retailer - Says current financial position ahead of previous expectations as year-on-year sales for the 8 weeks to June 21 down only 11% compared to the 45% decline for the five-week period to April 29.

Adds it has now reopened its main trading outlet at 399 Strand, London following completion of the redevelopment work which began at the start of the year.
