Department store retailer W.J. Daniel & Company has reported a slight decline in sales and profit.

According to its latest filed accounts for the year ended 2 February 2025, total sales fell 5% to £11.1m from £11.7m in 2024.

Pre-tax profit resulted at £210,000, down from £462,000 recorded in the previous year.

Stated within its report, the company said: “The directors consider the overall trading performance to be in line with expectations and reflective of the general trading conditions and uncertainty of other retailers.”

The company closed its Ealing store during June 2025 due to rising costs and a struggling retail market. Its online business and Windsor flagship store were unaffected by the Ealing store closure.
