Seasalt chief executive Paul Hayes said: “Sales have been strong throughout the key festive trading weeks in 2023 and we’re proud to have been able to build on the success we’ve seen in recent years, despite ongoing external economic challenges. 2024 is set to be a milestone year as we open our first stores in North America and we’re already seeing positive early signs of progress from our international growth over the past year, which is giving us confidence for the year ahead.”
It’s been wonderful to have been able to contribute to their success and we look forward to delivering more online growth in 2024.
