At Booker, total sales rose 11.0% (incl. a 9% contribution from the recently acquired Best Food Logistics) to £3.48bn with like-for-likes increasing 2.2%. The business experienced mixed trading during the period with retail sales up 22% but catering sales down 12% due to the shutdown of the hospitality sector early in the pandemic. Tesco highlighted that the business had doubled its market share and was benefitting from the integration of its recently acquired Best Food Logistics business.
