## Key points

- A Sheffield warehouse deal has accelerated the launch.
- Sales grew, but profits fell 10% to £1bn.

## Summary

Primark plans to start UK home deliveries by December 2027, bringing the launch forward by about two years as it seeks new customers after profits fell. Its owner, Associated British Foods (ABF), says the service could reach shoppers who live too far from a store or prefer to shop online.

Primark will take over a robot-assisted warehouse in Sheffield from Boohoo by the middle of next year and is preparing suppliers to fulfil individual orders. Sales rose 4% to £9.8bn in the year to 12 September, but profits fell 10% to £1bn; established-store sales were weak in the UK, Europe and the US. Primark plans to expand deliveries to mainland Europe later, with no date yet, and ABF intends to spin off the chain in December 2027.
