Euro 2024 driving 'supersize' TV sales, says Currys
England's European Championship games may not have been exciting viewing so far, but the boss of Currys hopes the Three Lions stay in the tournament to continue a boost in sales of big TVs. The electricals chain said UK sales were up by more than 30% in the past month, with boss Alex Baldock adding so-called "Supersize" screens - 85 inches and above - were proving popular. As well strong UK sales in the run up to the tournament, which also featured Scotland, the retail boss said TV sales in the Nordics - its other main market - were up as much as 90% on last year. The sales boost came as Currys reported an annual profit of £28m following a huge £462m loss the year before. Currys reported slightly slower sales compared with the previous year as consumers continued to rein in budgets amid higher living costs. Phones and mobile services sold well but demand for domestic appliances weakened and electronics and computer sales fell more steeply.
