The multi-category online retailer reported a 25.2 per cent increase in retail sales in the seven weeks to 25 December 2020.
Over the seven week period, Home and Electrical were amongst the best performing categories, with sales up by 46.2 per cent and 44.8 per cent respectively. The company also recorded that they had over 500,000 new customers and 139 million website visits.
Fashion and sports increased by 4.1 per cent and ‘other’ categories grew by 4 per cent, with this mainly driven by the fragrance and beauty category, which saw an increase of 12.2 per cent and cycling, which grew by 4.7 per cent.
Henry Birch, Chief Executive Officer at The Very Group, commented: “We are delighted with Very’s outstanding performance, which shows UK families were more determined than ever to celebrate this Christmas, despite all the challenges of 2020.
Because we sell everything our customers could possible want except food, are online only and offer a range of payment options, we were perfectly placed to help a record number of people make the most of the festive period.”
