  + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( James Davey | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The group also reported a 38% fall in full year profit, hurt by the weak performance of its Nordics business. Accordingly, we're being prudent in our planning, and in further strengthening our balance sheet," CEO Alex Baldock said. Baldock said Currys had taken actions to maximise operating cashflow through margin improvement, delivering cost savings and reducing capital expenditure. Nevertheless, the economic outlook remains uncertain in our main markets," Currys said. The group reported a statutory loss before tax of 450 million pounds for the year, driven by a previously announced non-cash goodwill impairment of 511 million.

☆ Britain's Currys to avoid using Royal Mail 'for now' over strikes
  + stars: | 2022-12-04 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - British electricals retailer Currys (CURY.L) will not use Royal Mail as a delivery provider "for now" to reduce any impact from strike action, the company's chief executive officer Alex Baldock said on Sunday. Asked whether the report was true, Baldock said: "For now, yes. We plan for this sort of thing all the time and the relatively few, smaller parcels that we distribute through Royal Mail are pretty easily switchable to another provider." Postal workers have already staged walk outs and plan another wave of strikes later this month over pay and conditions, arguing that they want a rise that matches increasing prices and the cost of living.

☆ UK could use military to ease strikes, Conservative chairman says
  + stars: | 2022-12-04 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Britain's government is looking at bringing in the military to help keep public services running if key workers, including in the state-run National Health Service, take strike action, the chairman of the governing Conservative Party said on Sunday. "We're looking at the military, we're looking at a specialist response force... a surge capacity," he said, adding that the military could be brought in to drive ambulances. Workers at post and parcel company Royal Mail have held several rounds of strikes this year in a dispute over pay and working conditions and more strikes are planned this month. Zahawi again blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine for fuelling energy price rises and double-digit inflation, calling on public sector workers to "come together". "There is a minimum safety level of delivery in place already, but the NHS will look at all contingency planning," he said.
