SuperGroup growth slows for fourth quarter in a row Ms Given, previously managing director of TK Maxx, the discount fashion retailer, will concentrate on improving the company's operation and efficiency across its UK retail business. More than £170m was wiped off the value of Supergroup's shares on April 20 after the fashion company admitted it couldn't count and blamed "arithmetic errors" for a calamitous profit warning. At the time, said it would it miss annual profit forecasts by about £7.5m because of mistakes in its wholesale business, apparently down to a "plus" sign accidentally being entered in accounts instead of a "minus." Jonathan Pritchard, retail analyst at Oriel Securities, said on Thursday: "At the moment it's a very long road in front of them, to restore trust after three profit warnings in the last year. But the new management team clearly has the credentials to do so. SuperGroup shares rose 26 to 333.25p. Jean Roche, analyst at Panmure Gordon, added: "Remaining shareholders will take some small comfort in the fact that the company's full-year profit guidance of £43m is unchanged."
