Retail events in the UK - Statistics & Facts
The last quarter of the year, also referred to as 鈥渢he golden quarter鈥 in commercial lore, is an exciting period for retailers. Typically, during the months of November and December, retail sales see the highest activity, and over the past years, retail sales in the United Kingdom (UK) during this period have only seen even more elevated numbers. This spirit of spending safeguards the UK as the top ranking country in Europe in terms of retail sales during the holiday season. Both during the Christmas period and the preceding Black Friday and Cyber Week events, UK retail spending surpasses that of other leading European economies.
