Financially, TFG has reported strong performance with record revenues and profit growth driven by strategic store expansion, improved margins and acquisition activity such as the purchase of the UK-based fashion chain White Stuff, which has contributed to international sales growth and diversified the Group’s global footprint. Local performance has also benefited from a rebound in African retail sales, with online sales accounting for a significant portion of total revenue — a result of enhanced digital strategy and omnichannel execution.
