LONDON (ShareCast) - Peter Williams, the Non-Executive Chairman of boohoo.com, has upped his stake in the AIM-listed fashion retailer to 2.2m shares.

The Chairman added 100,000 shares at 50.68p each in a transaction worth £50,680.

The deal was made just a few days after the recently floated company delivered record annual revenues and profits ahead of expectations, although currency movements hit rest-of-world sales in the first quarter of the new financial year.

Boohoo, which targets the 14-35 age bracket, posted a 63% rise in revenue in the year to February 28th of £109.8m, with a 60% increase in the UK, 78% in the rest of Europe and 65% in the rest of the world.

Profit more than tripled to £10.7m and pro-forma pre-tax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortisation was £16m, which the group said was ahead of expectations.
