(Alliance News) - UP Global Sourcing Holdings PLC said Monday its profit and revenue rose sharply in its recently ended financial year, driven by growth from all of its revenue streams.
UP Global Sourcing designs and develops a range of value-focused consumer brands, including household goods brand Kleeneze and George Wilkinson, which deals in kitchen goods.
For the year to the end of July, underlying pretax profit rose by 51% to GBP8.5 million from GBP5.6 million the year before, on revenue up 41% to GBP123.3 million from GBP87.6 million.
