John Kruijssen, CEO of BBH, comments:
“During the pandemic, the attention for the importance of sleep has definitely increased. We have worked hard to sharpen our offering, strengthen our brand, optimise our store network and improve our online offering. While we diligently execute our strategic plan towards 2025, we see that our customers recognise the steps we are taking and appreciate our ‘Sleep better, live better’ philosophy. Although the third quarter has shown a decline in order intake, mainly due to the strong comparison base during COVID, the soft weather and the uncertain economic outlook, our market share and NPS have grown significantly and our order book has further increased.
We continue to adjust and strengthen our proposition, and we are proud to have achieved an average sales growth over the last three years of 10 %, and 8.5% year to date. We are in full implementation mode of our strategic plan, and we have secured additional funding to support the further rollout. We expect that the retail sector will be further impacted by the high inflation and low consumer spending, but remain confident about our positioning and business model for the longer term.”
