Dealer-owned buying group has reported its best ever month with turnover for May up 46.61%. The year to date figure is also up by 25.16%.
General manager, Chris McEwan, attributes the boost in turnover, in part, to the "outstanding performance" of Home Hardware's spring brochure, which was distributed to more than 400,000 customers. According to the company, early indications already suggest that the summer brochure will be equally successful.

In January, the group, which has 58 member shops across Scotland and the north of England, reported its best ever year, with its 2009 turnover showing an increase of more than 14%.
