November trading sets new records

 

After four weeks of trading the GTN Bestsellers All Products Sales index has surpassed the previous November record level set in 2014 by 2%. 

 

Garden centre product sales for the month are 3% up year on year with Christmas and plant sales the major contributors.

 

As seen in the line graph above the peaks of the past four years have all been beaten and we still have the two busiest Christmas weeks to come.
