11% of all enterprises in the UK are retailers, with 184,695 VAT-registered businesses operating in 278,630 retail outlets.


UK retail sales were approximately £246.3 billion in 2004.


Retail accounted for 5.6% of Gross Value Added (GVA) in 2002.


Over a third of consumer spending goes through shops.


The retail industry employed 2.8 million people, as at the end of September 2004. This equates to 1 in 9 (11%) of the total UK workforce.


Over the last five years, employment in retailing has grown by 273,200.


During the last decade, the price of shop goods rose only 8%, much less than the 30% increase in the all-items Retail Price Index.

Try Dan at the Retail Advisory Service. He is setting up a new weekly retail bulletin for the UK which will be launched later this year. That will be a free service for people passionate about retail!

His e-mail address is [DELETED BY MPROFS STAFF] and is an extremely helpful guy!

Everyone, thanks for participating. I am closing this question since it's gathered a considerable amount of dust.

The author abandoned this, like so many students usually do, right after he posted it.
