Topps Tiles cuts dividend amid tougher economic climate

Cheshire tile and wood floor retailer Topps Tiles is cutting its half-year dividend in response to tougher economic conditions.

Topps says the change in its dividend policy - resulting in a reduced payment to shareholders of 3p a share from 3.75p a year ago - reflects a “more prudent approach” in the current climate.

It also reports a 3% drop in like-for-like revenues since the start of April, weaker than the 0.9% fall for the first half of the financial year.
