Substantial growth forecast by telecoms retailer

Carphone Warehouse is to pay its first-ever shareholder dividend as it increases its share of the UK telecoms market.

The 1p-a-share dividend for the year to the end of March was announced as the UK’s biggest mobile phone retailer updated analysts on progress at he company.
Founder and chief executive Charles Dunstone has preferred to invest profits back into the growth of the business, and the dividend is a strong indication that the company has come of age.
Carphone Warehouse said trading since the last update in January has continued in line with expectations, with the group “well positioned to continue to deliver substantial profitable growth in the year ahead.”
