Bathroom and kitchen firm Betta Living reported sales up 22 percent to £29.9m in the year ending November 30. Pre-tax profits were up 44 percent to £1.5m, boosted by a rise in web sales.

Chairman Noel Dean said: “The home improvement market has been through a torrid time but we have been able to grow our market share and develop our brand by maintaining customer service levels. We have started the current year extremely strongly, with web sales up by 30 percent and higher average order values.”

Betta Living designs, makes and fits bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and home offices and has a factory in Oldham.
