Christmas Trading and Administrations FSP records Christmas casualties as those who fail during the key period of Christmas Eve through January.
Despite the reported tough Christmas in the face of the onward march of online sales, so far only Brantano has failed. With PwC continuing to trade the business, it may yet resurface.
Blue Inc has not failed, but has put its subsidiary A Levy & Sons into administration in order to dispose of loss-making stores.
The number of retailers recorded on SnapShop entering administration in each of the past few years is: 2015 – 4 2014 – 9 2013 – 43 2012 – 44 2011 – 57 2010 – 42 2009 – 93 2008 – 56

Methodology FSP Christmas Sales Report Methodology
FSP seeks to gain an accurate review of the Christmas period, hence the period end date must be at least Christmas Eve and no later than the end of January; the period must be 13 weeks or less. Online Sales are always shown as Total changes. Graphs are ranked in order, highest to lowest, first by Like-for-Like change, then by Total change
FSP has gone to its best efforts to ensure this data is correct but the author reserves the right not to be responsible for the accuracy of information provided.
