The Leekes store in Melksham contributed to a successful year for the retail company, which has reported strong results this financial year.

The Leekes Retail and Leisure Group, which owns the superstore on Beanacre Road, reported today (December 23) an annual turnover of £66m for its retail, leisure and property arms, and year-on-year increase of over seven per cent for the year ending March 31, 2013.

The retail division continued to be the strongest performing element of the group with sales exceeding £51m. This represents an increase of 4 per cent across its home department stores located in Wales, the Midlands and the South West.

Managing director Stephen Leeke said: “This year has been a great success for the company in all areas, and with the figures from the last eight months even more promising, we look forward to continued growth in 2013-4.”
