Management at Topps Tiles said sales were up 10 per cent in the last three months of 2022.
Half of the growth, it said, was down to the acquisition of Midlands-based online retailer Pro Tiler Tools back in March.
It comes as Topps – which is headquartered in Leicestershire, and has sales of around £250 million and 304 stores – is currently embroiled in a boardroom tussle with its biggest shareholder.
