Woodies team member Ryan Cromwell tries to jump over the 2 meter distancing stencil on the floor at the Woodies. Revenue at Woodie's owner Grafton Group fell by almost 20pc to £1.06bn (€1.18bn) in the six months to June 30. In a trading update today, Grafton said its performance in June was “more resilient” than expected with group revenue in continuing operations of £247.8m (€275.6m). This was 11.4pc ahead of June 2019 revenue, with the benefit of two additional trading days and revenue from the acquisition of Polvo in July last year. In Ireland, Woodie's reported a new record for monthly revenue in June due to "exceptional" sales of seasonal products.
