The CEO of high-street fashion retailer Next has said UK consumer habits have not changed because of uncertainty about leaving the EU. Speaking at a conference in London, Mr Johnson said: “People are still buying clothes and shoes from British retailers but they don’t want to buy them online or over the phone. The high street fashion retailer Wolfson stated that leaving the bloc without a deal could benefit customers as tariffs would be reduced by £12m to £15m, and that consumer demand would only be reduced if Brexit affects employment, prices or earnings.
