Furniture retailer, ScS, has returned to growth over the last 10 weeks.

The retailer, which has stores in Gloucester and Cheltenham, posted order growth of 2.6% for the 10 weeks to January 28, and said its like-for-like sales had "improved significantly", as reported by Retail Gazette.

ScS is set to continue with expansion plans, after opening new stores in Swindon and York, bringing its total UK store portfolio to 100.

A spokesperson said the company is encouraged by recent order levels, despite the challenging economic outlook. It believes its cost management and robust balance sheet places it in a good financial and operational position.

ScS said it remains on track to meet full-year market expectations.
