Do you shop at the Company Shop Corby?
Alongside the massive savings for members, the group has announced that it has handled and redistributed a huge number of surplus food and products within stores, surging beyond 80 million items in the last year alone to deliver even greater environmental benefits.
This has meant saving more than 28,000 tonnes of surplus food from going to waste.
It has also significantly expanded the volume of non-food items it redistributes by more than a quarter, totalling 5.7 million, meaning that alongside high-quality, low-cost food, Company Shop’s shelves are increasingly stocked with items in the clothing, household and homeware ranges.
Shares in waste management firm Biffa rose on the FTSE 350 today even though it reported revenues and profits falling last year.
They closed trading 2.7 per cent higher at 300.5p after the group revealed its results were ahead of expectations and stated it was strongly positioned to recover when the Covid-19 pandemic dies down.
This was despite its statutory revenues declining by about 10 per cent to £1.04billion while it went from a pre-tax profit of £56.4million in the 2020 financial year to a £52.8million loss in the 12 months to March 26 this year.
Cleaning up: Biffa did see total volumes recover to end at 82 per cent of prior year levels
The coming week will also see updates from recycling specialist Biffa and optical technology maker Gooch & Housego as well as from office real estate.
