The struggling online shopping group THG has said its profits will disappoint for the third time in a year, blaming delivery disruption, contract delays and falling sales at one of its key divisions.
The company, formerly known as The Hut Group, said the profit downgrade was because of lengthier “onboarding” of new contracts at Ingenuity, its unit that helps retailers sell their products online, plus demand for THG’s own online beauty ranges being hit by courier disruption over Christmas.
