Moneysupermarket.com was able to accelerate revenue growth in the fourth quarter with the board now expecting year-on-year sales to rise by 20%.
When the price comparison website firm reveals its full-year results next month, it expects to report sales of £178m for the 12 months to December 31st, up from £148.9m the year before.
This was helped by a 19% rise in revenues in the final three months of the year, up from 14% growth in the third quarter, "supported by higher levels of marketing spend," the firm said.
