Currys, the UK electronics provider, saw its profits rise by 10% at the end of June. Despite this, the company will not reinstate its dividend after scrapping it last year due to a swing to an annual loss of £450 million. Currys agreed to sell its Greek business for £175 million to focus on bigger markets like the UK and Nordics.
