Britain’s Marks & Spencer Has Momentum In Christmas Countdown – NIQ

Marks & Spencer has entered Christmas trading with momentum as NIQ data showed it to be one of the UK's fastest-growing grocers.

UK shoppers are expected to spend more this Christmas due to lower inflation and strong promotions, according to the latest data from NIQ.

Supermarket group Morrisons will gradually end deliveries from Ocado’s automated warehouse in Erith, southeast England.

UK total till sales slowed to 4.0% growth in the four weeks to 2 November ahead of big spending events such as Christmas, NIQ reported.

UK shoppers face renewed pressure on their budgets in October as inflation edged higher for the second month in a row, according to Kantar.

Marks & Spencer has revealed a 17.2% jump in profit for the first half of the financial year, as the success of its turnaround continues.

The British online supermarket and technology group Ocado has named Adam Warby as its chair, succeeding Richard Haythornthwaite.

Total till sales in the UK grew by 4.7% in the four weeks ending 4 October 2024 buoyed by lower inflation and seasonal spending, NIQ reports.
