We’re now well into Q3, and as the up-and-down Summer temperatures roll-on, the Autumn and Winter is just around the corner. Though we’re now enjoying some Summer sun, with friends and family holidaying and relaxing at the beach, park or garden, we’ll soon be getting ready for cosy nights as the chillier months kick in!
Although the UK never seems to be away from economic turbulence these days, recent studies have indicated that the UK economy grew more than was initially expected in the early months of 2024, as the nation emerged from a recession.
Between January and March, the Office for National Statistics revealed the economy grew by 0.7%. Moreover, recent reports have shown that the UK economy is expected to recover further in Q2, despite a disappointingly stagnant April, according to analysts at Capital Economics.
On July 4th, the UK voted overwhelming for the Labour Party, booting out the Conservative Party following 14 years of power. As the new Labour government settles in with a thumping majority and clear mandate, it remains to be seen if the UK economy will continue to recover.
Though there has been a more positive economy outlook than much of the recent past, Pound Wholesale’s best-sellers category appears to reflect much of the nation’s confusion, as the weather remains frustratingly unpredictable. Despite this, there are still some clear wins for the Summer categories, with Hayfever Wipes, among other seasonal items, being among our most popular sellers at the moment.
