Group chief executive John Lyttle commented: “The group has made a strong start to the year, as we continue to disrupt and capture market share in the UK and internationally across all our brands.

Last week, the company appointed Jo Graham as chief information officer, poaching her from a technology leadership role at Morrisons to replace long-term incumbent Harry Dixon.

Earlier this week, a claim for £118.5 million against Boohoo co-founder Mahmud Kamani was filed by a man who argues he created the company’s website.
