Sanderson Design Group’s  (SDG ) H1 FY26 trading update to 31 July continues to be led by the performance of its Licensing and North America operations, with reported trading up 6% and 1%, respectively. Complemented by steady revenue in third-party manufacturing, a better Brand product revenue performance in the final nine weeks and a new cost-savings initiative to reduce overheads by an annualised £1m, the group remains on track to achieve the board’s expectations for the year.
