Top Wholesale and retail trade companies in UK by revenue

The retail industry is undoubtedly one of the most crucial to the UK economy. In 2017, retail accounted for 11% of Gross Value Added, having contributed £194 billion to the economy. This was an increase of £4 billion from the previous year. As of 2016, there were 4.9 million people (20.5% of the UK population) employed in the industry, across 374,000 businesses.
Shoppers spent £406 billion on purchases alone during 2017. For every £1 spent in the sector, £0.42 was spent in non-food stores, £0.39 was spent in food stores, £0.10 was spent on fuel for vehicles, and the rest went on other forms of retail including markets and mail order businesses.

The wholesale sector in particular is worth £30 billion a year to the UK economy. The grocery and foodservice wholesaling market value reached £29.9 million in 2016, a small increase from the previous year. The strongest segment was that of delivered foodservice operators, enjoying an increase of 2.1%.

Companies Selected:

While there's been a rise in both footfall and sales in the retail sector in recent years, the growth of online trading as well as the expansion of supermarkets have both posed challenges to the industry, and will likely to continue to do so. The Brexit vote has seen an impact on food prices thanks to inflation, but, in contrast to predictions, confidence from shoppers remains high.

So, which businesses are turning over the biggest profits in the UK retail sector? We've used our company data and compiled a list of the current top-performers - take a look at the results below.
