Trading update - Impact of the coronavirus, and
Change of Registered Office
Leeds Group provides a trading update in light of the current
global situation with regard to COVID-19. Our priority remains the
health and safety of our employees, clients and consumers.
Leeds Group's activities in Germany, Hemmers/Itex Textil Import
Export GmbH ("Hemmers") and Stoff-Ideen-KMR GmbH ("KMR") have been
severely affected by the country wide lockdown imposed by the
German government.
The wholesale business of Hemmers has been considerably
restricted and all retail shops in KMR have been closed until
further notice. As a result, the trading results for the 3-month
period from March to May 2020 will be affected.
Whilst the directors are taking mitigating actions which
includes support from government schemes, the benefit in the
current financial year will be limited given the proximity to our
May year end. Therefore, in addition to the reduced trading
announced in our Interim Statement issued on 3 February 2020, the
Board expects to report a substantial loss for the financial year
to 31 May 2020.
Change of Registered Office
Leeds Group also announces that it has changed its registered
office to Craven House, 14-18 York Road, Wetherby, Leeds, LS22 6SL
with immediate effect.
