The Hot 100 by Merchandise Group

Jan 2010 Looking at our Hot 100 by merchandise category, it is no surprise to see that the Clothing and Footwear and Personal retailers have a clear lead, with almost 40% of the retailers on the list within those Merchandise Groups.
In Clothing & Footwear, this includes Mens, Childrens and Womenswear, Footwear, Maternity and Bridalwear and Lingerie. The leaders in this C&F by UK sales are Next and Primark, whose figures are into the billions.
Personal is held up by Jewellery retailers, with 6 featuring in the Hot 100 – Chanel, Links of London, Warren James, Herbert Brown, Garrard and Ramsdens.
Bringing up the rear with 6.7% of the share are Department Stores, Variety Stores and Catalogue/Home Shopping retailers - defined within the LSU category. Marks & Spencer, Matalan and Original Factory Shop are worth a mention, with all reporting respectable BIS scores of “Healthy”.

Looking for the retailer commentary by our Managing Director Geoff Nicholson, as featured on the website in November? See here!
It is fact that 32 of the 78 retail administrations recorded by FSP since January 2008 (to July 2009) resulted in the business being rescued. And so while sales are low and two thirds of retailers are in poor financial health, it is likely that we will emerge from recession with a leaner, financially fitter and more dynamic high street.
Amongst those best placed to take advantage of the recovery are the FSP "Hot 100". These highly sustainable businesses have consistently delighted their loyal customers, have prudently managed their finances and have cautiously expanded, maintaining their appeal - and are the retail businesses needed to fill vacant shopping centre or high street units.
FSP’s Hot 100 combines BIS Wealth Creation Efficiency Ratio (from analysis of latest financial accounts) with FSP’s SnapShop news monitoring service, to identify rising high street stars.

Those who remain afloat do so in a tough environment, which makes it all the more impressive that they’ve maintained the financials required to get onto the list. But how, why, and what is the future?

FSP information and face-to-face presentations have been instrumental in getting retailers to consider schemes which they would not otherwise have done and this has been successfully converted into lettings which would not have happened in a number of instances.
