New Look gets Christmas cheer
New Look, the value fashion retailer owned by private equity groups Apax and Permira, has reported a 3.6 per cent jump in sales over the festive period despite “challenging” trading conditions. The retailer said multi-channel shopping initiatives such as the launch of its “click and collect” service had helped boost its sales in the five weeks to 31 December as more shoppers buy online.
