Nick Beighton, CEO, commented: "Following record sales over Cyber weekend and the Christmas trading period, I'm pleased to report a strong start to the year. A 50% plus increase in international sales is a standout performance. UK sales growth at 18% was a strong performance in a more promotional market."

He added that sales are expected to grow by up to 30% this year - the company is investing in infrastructure to capitalise on 2016's sales spike and to handle future growth.
