Fast fashion clothing group Quiz (LON:QUIZ) saw shares rise over 5 percent on Wednesday, as its marketing revamp begins to take effect.

Tarak Ramzan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said he was “pleased to report a very good performance for the QUIZ brand in the first half of the financial year”.

“The Group’s strong performance is a reflection of the growing awareness of the QUIZ brand and increasing demand for our products that offer the latest glamorous looks and occasion wear at great value.

“Current trading has remained strong since the period end and, underpinned by our strong collections, the Group enters the important Christmas trading period with good momentum. The Board remains confident of delivering growth across all channels for the full year.”
