Article Abstract:
Colefax and Fowler is seeing rising sales in the US, while sales in the United Kingdom are dropping due to difficult market conditions. The company has a wide range of fabrics due to acquisitions, and this means that changes in fashion can be weathered more easily. Jack Lenor Larsen, a US company, was acquired in 1997, and Manuel Canovas, a French company, was acquired in 1998. Colefax and Fowler's pre-tax profit is forecast at 4.9 million pounds sterling for 1998 to 1999.
