Supermarket giant Sainsbury’s is to raise staff wages by 5% per cent after cheering its “biggest ever” Christmas.
The UK’s second-largest grocery chain, behind Tesco, said it saw a strong performance in the key Christmas period amid soaring demand for party food and bottles of fizz. Tesco recently reported claiming its highest market share since 2016 after ringing up a rise in sales as it said customers switched to the supermarket over the crucial Christmas shopping season.
