Online women's fashion brand Sosandar grew its revenue and cut its pre-tax losses during the listed company's latest financial year.
The Wilmslow-headquartered business has reported a revenue of £12.1m for the 12 months to March 31, 2021, up from £9m during the prior year.
The company's pre-tax losses were also slashed from £7.8m to £3m over the same period.
In a statement, Sosandar said the growth in revenue represents a "strong performance in a volatile trading environment".
It added that its EBITDA loss going from £7.66m to £2.92m was as a result of increasing scale, improved return on investment from its marketing and an ongoing focus on cost management.
During the year the company successfully launched partnerships with John Lewis, Next and M&S.
Sosandar has also reported a record first quarter of its new financial year in terms of revenue.
Revenue totalled £5.7m for the three months, a rise of 256% compared to the same period in the prior year.
