Sales have almost doubled at Conviviality Retail, the owner of Bargain Booze, passing the £1.5bn mark.
In a trading update, the listed group said sales for the 52 weeks to 30 April 2017 had reached £1.56bn, up from £841m the year before.
In May 2016, the company agreed a £60m deal to acquire wine, spirit and beer distributor Bibendum PLB. It said the integration of this business, together with wine wholesaler Matthew Clark which was bought in 2015, was progressing well.
Conviviality reorganised its activities into three business units during the year - Conviviality Direct, Conviviality Retail and Conviviality Trading – with each reporting growth in sales compared to 2015/16.
Diana Hunter, chief executive of Conviviality, said: "We have come to the end of an unprecedented year of change and I am pleased to report a strong trading performance for the Group and for each of its business units.
"We have made great progress on the integration of Matthew Clark and the acquisition and integration of Bibendum PLB Group. Our focus will continue to be on improving the business and ensuring that benefits are realised from our greater scale, as we drive efficiencies for the Group and greater service for our customers."
