Damian Gleeson, Head of Retail, comments on the Q3 findings:
The results of the Grant Thornton Retail Excellence Retail Productivity Review for Q3 which was pre level 5 restrictions had seen some sectors starting to bounce back from Q2 lows. There has been a natural increase in gift purchases, growth in home, garden centre, furniture/flooring and childrenswear resurging also, demonstrating consumer demand in these sectors.
As working from home continues to be the norm and the casualisation of society continues, there has been a natural drop off in clothing and footwear sales as witnesses earlier this year. Jewellery and hot beverages have also taken a hit.
