FTSE 250 movers: Dunelm higher after revenue increase

5th Jul 2012 14:11

Homewares retailer Dunelm advanced after saying that total revenue increased 21.2 per cent in the fourth quarter of the group's fiscal year, boosted by the unusually wet weather. However, the group cautioned that it expects consumer spending to remain under pressure. Recruitment groups Hays and Michael Page were being weighed down by a gloomy trading update from AIM-listed sector peer Robert Walters. The group said that a banking sector slow-down in the Asia Pacific region put a dent in net fee income in the second quarter. FTSE 250 - RisersGem Diamonds Ltd.
