The Next fashion chain said sales were up marginally in August, September and October, despite the big problems facing the UK high street.
As the cost of living crisis bites the UK retail giant said year-on-year sales were up 0.4 per cent for the period – slightly ahead of initial expectations. September in particular saw a decent trading.
In-store sales for the period were 3.1 per cent up on last year while online sales were almost 2 per cent down.
