Some Good News Amongst This Week's Economic Gloom

The current news coming out of the UK economy feels like the established house of cards is having something of a wobble. This week alone we have read about:

  • 174 year old Thomas Cook is struggling to stay afloat
  • That old bastion of UK industry, British Steel has gone under
  • Jamie and his culinary delights are now only available via cookbooks
  • The High Street continues to be a bloodbath
  • Manufacturing is slumping again after the Brexit stockpiling runs out of steam

So, with all those dark clouds persisting, Plimsoll would like to cast a little bit of light to lift the mood of UK Plc. There are still some highly successful British companies out there:

 

JD Sports Fashion Plc

With their focus on the millennial fashion market and a higher value proposition than competitors, JD Sports have seen explosive growth and increased profitability in recent years. While the rest of the High Street dies a painful death, this is a real retail success story.
