Said B&M's chief executive Simon Arora: "B&M's disruptive pricing, unique sourcing model and range discipline has continued to drive our business forward to win market share.

"More people are able to access our stores as a result of our continuing and successful new store programme. We now regularly serve 3.3 million customers on average each week.

"As a result of a record 79 new stores opened in the financial year, we have now passed the milestone of 500 UK stores."
