Games Workshop Group PLC announced that sales and profits in the six months to 27 November 2016 are significantly ahead of those in the first half of the prior year and ahead of the Board's original expectations. Preliminary estimates indicate an operating profit of £13 million for the period. Over the first half the company have seen strong sales and profit growth in constant currency terms.
