Retail profits down, says Plimsoll

 

A Plimsoll study into the profitability of the UK's largest furniture retailers has revealed a widening gap between firms making outstanding profits and those losing money.

 

The latest Plimsoll Analysis found average profit margins have fallen to 4% of sales, and 479 of the UK's top 991 furniture retailers are now running at a loss – a finding that, says Plimsoll, might lead one to believe the industry was suffering with chronic oversupply, rising costs and severe pricing issues. However, the same study has revealed that 105 businesses are making record profits.
