Primark Sales Continue to Grow

Value clothing chain Primark has continued to perform well with a 15% rise in total sales in the 16 weeks to 19 June.

Sales across the group, which owns brands such as Silver Spoon, Twinings and Kingsmill, rose 13% and the retailer reduced its net debt from £1.09 billion to below £1 billion.

In it’s interim management statement the company said: “Primark is having an excellent year with particularly strong trading in Spain and very encouraging progress made in its other continental European stores.  Revenue year-to-date has increased by 17% driven by an increase in retail selling space and further like-for-like sales growth.

“Trading for the group since the half year remains on track to deliver very good progress in earnings for the full year.”
