The company’s ascent to the top has been remarkable, both in terms of performance and speed, with sales growing 20% last year, 7% on a like-for-like basis, despite the severity of the global consumer downturn.
Benefiting from fashion-conscious consumers who are trading down, Primark has followed a rapid international expansion programme, and now operates in Ireland, the UK, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and Belgium. Opting to grow through a model of self-ownership, the retailer is focused on larger stores and has become a massive footfall driver for shopping centres and high streets. In selecting Primark as the winner, judges noted the company’s “rapid and impressive growth” and described the retailer as a “great success story”.
