Moonpig has said it recorded its biggest week of sales in the UK before Mother’s Day earlier this month.

The online greetings card business assured investors that trading had been “resilient” over the past six months, despite recently revealing it had taken a hit from Royal Mail postal strikes and waning consumer demand.

It downgraded sales expectations in December after seeing industrial action hit last-minute card orders around each strike day in September and October.
