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.
