UK retailer credits an "unexpected" summer sales lift for its fourth profit upgrade this year, while warning prices could rise in autumn.

The retailer has succeeded in an employment appeal tribunal challenge to a 2024 decision that required it to pay shop workers the same basic rates as warehouse employees.

A judge ruled that retailer Next can pay warehouse workers more than other staff because it is harder to recruit and retain them, according to a BBC Business report.
