Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO said its monthly High Street Sales Tracker found sales in British shops rose 0.7% in December compared to the same month in 2018.“Black Friday never quite ended and instead saw sales continue throughout the month,” said Sophie Michael, head of retail and wholesale at BDO.
In contrast, online sales in December increased 24.5% year-on-year. Although that was the best monthly performance since December 2013 it was boosted by Cyber Monday falling six days later than it did last year.
