Colefax Group PLC - London-based designer and distributor of furnishing fabrics and wallpapers - Updates current trading ahead of annual general meeting.

In the core fabric division, sales for the 21 weeks to September 23 were down by 1% on a constant currency basis. Sales in the US, its largest market accounting for 64% of the fabric division total, were down by 4% against strong prior year comparatives. Sales in the UK were up by 5% and sales in Europe were up by 2% on a constant currency basis.
