The Jersey-based Stanley Gibbons Group has released its audited results for the twelve months to 31 March 2015, showing a strong growth in sales and profits.
Trading profits for the year were up 25 per cent to £8.8 million (compared with £7 million in 2014) – this included contribution from the recent acquisitions of Noble Investments (UK) and Mallett.
This year, the Group also successfully launched the Stanley Gibbons Online Marketplace. With its launch, the Group’s website now offers over five million collectibles for sale, representing around £120 million in retail value from Stanley Gibbons and over 400 trusted third-party vendors.
Martin Bralsford, Chairman of Stanley Gibbons, said: "The Board remains confident that the strength of the market twinned with the expected return from the delivery of our strategy, particularly from the commercialisation of our recently launched online marketplace, provides material profit growth potential in the current financial year and beyond."
