Midcounties Co-operative has been boosted by an “exceptional year” for its travel division.

Midcounties is the second conference to be cancelled following Thomas Cook's collapse

The group revealed that total sales had increased 8% to £1.35 billion across all of its businesses for the year ending on January 28.

Midcounties Co-op also made a profit before significant items of £11.4 million during the financial year, although this was down from £15.5 million in 2015.

“Travel had an exceptional year,” said Midcounties in a statement. “There were strong results in retail, Personal Travel Agents and the Co-op Consortium while Co-operative Holidays grew significantly with city break locations and Co-operative Rooms performing well.”

Midcounties also operates food, funeral, childcare, post offices and energy services as well as travel.
