Profits at Kent-based company up 10% in December, after several years of struggling post-lockdown sales
The toy-train maker Hornby enjoyed bumper trading in the final three months of last year, marking a turnaround for the Kent-based company, which has struggled since a hobby boom during the Covid pandemic.
Sales at the model train firm, which also sells toy planes and cars under the Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi brands, rose 7% in the key “golden quarter” compared with the same period a year earlier.
