Hotel Chocolat generated a 15 per cent uplift in its revenues to £71.7 million for the six months to 31 December. It enjoyed strong growth across all of its channels including those generated via its newly added third parties like Amazon and Ocado.
The business opened ten new stores including an outlet within Clarks Village in Somerset.
Co-founder and CEO Angus Thirlwell said “This has been another period of strong progress for Hotel Chocolat with growth in both sales and profits. The critical Christmas period was again successful, helped by further improvements in availability, our best ever seasonal range and the extension of our one-stop gift solutions range. We have exciting plans in place for the key spring seasons of Mather’s Day and Easter, and have recently launched a new cacao beauty range and a weekly subscription called Mbox.”
