Retail sales beating targets…but for how long?
Retail’s up and down isn’t it?! One day you’ve got asos spanking the backside of everyone’s expectations; the next day someone’s trying to sell Woolworths for a pound. And today M&S are knocking 20% off everything in the store to get people back in before Christmas, and Debenhams holding a similar 3 day sale. However, across the board the retail sector is doing better than people predicted. The Office for National Statistics said that sales dropped by just 0.1% in October – way ahead of forecasts. Don’t forget the bullish retailers we met at the Careers Forum – there’s some good profile videos here of those defying the crunch, including good old asos.
