Primark vs SKIMS and the Return of UK E-Commerce Growth- Plus Argos, Charlotte Tilbury Five Things Friday UK

The UK retail industry never stands still. This week Alex and Simone unpack five of the biggest retail stories shaping customer experience, ecommerce, retail technology and consumer behaviour across the UK.

In this episode:


• Charlotte Tilbury transforms Covent Garden into an immersive Unreal Glow Club pop-up experience

• Online Home Shop posts impressive growth as UK ecommerce continues to evolve

• Morrisons introduces new retail innovation

• Argos reinvents its iconic catalogue with personalised digital shopping experiences

• New ONS retail sales data raises questions about the future of ecommerce

• Primark steals headlines with a cheeky response to the new Skims flagship opening on Regent Street


The discussion explores where UK retail is heading, whether ecommerce has entered another phase of structural growth, and how retailers are increasingly competing through experience, discovery and customer inspiration rather than price alone.
