On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa’s 10 years’ of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.

ProCook Group has reported a record 28% jump in revenues to £32.8m for the third quarter ended 4 January 2026, as the kitchenware retailer continued to gain market share and expand its store estate during the peak trading season.  

The group attributed its performance to strong growth across both retail and ecommerce channels as like-for-like revenues rose 17.2%, marking its ninth consecutive quarter of revenue growth. 

Retail revenue increased 26.8%, reflecting a tenth consecutive quarter of like-for-like growth and the contribution from new store openings. Ecommerce revenue rose 30%, driven by higher website traffic and increased average order values, with like-for-like online sales up 28.9%.

As a result, ProCook is said to have outperformed the wider UK kitchenware market, including kitchen electricals, by around 30% during the quarter. The group estimates the overall market to be worth about £5bn. 

Strong cash generation during the period resulted in a net cash position of £7.8m at the end of the quarter, compared with £1m a year earlier. Available liquidity stood at £23.8m.

The group opened four new stores during the quarter, taking the total number of openings for the financial year to 10 and its overall retail estate to 75 stores.

ProCook also completed its B Corp recertification during the quarter, increasing its B Impact Assessment score to 93.1 from 80 at its initial certification in 2023. It was also recognised as a Great Place to Work for the fifth consecutive year.

The company said it remained on track to deliver a strong full-year performance, with revenue and cash generation expected to be slightly ahead of market expectations. Operating profit and profit before tax, excluding foreign exchange movements, are expected to be in line with expectations following continued investment in market share growth.

Lee Tappenden, chief executive of ProCook, said: “The group’s excellent peak season trading performance has built on our strong momentum resulting in our ninth consecutive quarter of growth, with substantial like-for-like revenue growth in both retail and ecommerce channels.

“These results, together with our expanding retail footprint and our enhanced product offering, mean we are confident in delivering a strong full year performance.”
