Back to school boosts John Lewis

Department store chain John Lewis saw strong growth last week as a surge of "back-to-school" shopping lifted sales of fashion and technology across the country.

The employee-owned group, which has 37 stores in the UK, said total sales were up 15.3% at £70.5 million in the week to September 1, including a 20% year-on-year increase on the bank holiday Monday.
