New loan approvals rose to 84,700 last month, while Greggs, John Menzies and Card Factory are affected by the pandemic.
HIPOTECAS approvals in the UK peaked at almost 13 years in August, as the market recovered from its sadness.
At 84,700, lenders have signed more home loans than at any other time since October 2007 (when the credit crisis began at the start of the currency crisis).
However, customers borrowed more moderately and higher, for only three hundred million pounds last month, demonstrating that some families are cautious, for fear of an increase in unemployment this winter.
The increase in loan approvals in August was also due to outstanding demand, as the market froze freezing.
Here are some details:
Just in: the number of mortgages in the UK has increased.
New Bank of England figures show that around 84,700 home loans were approved in August. This is a sharp increase in July, when approximately 66,000 mortgages were signed, and more than the City expected.
It suggests that the current suspension of stamp duty for purchases of 500,000 euros and traditionally low interest rates stimulate demand.
This would possibly also be motivated through some families to move into a larger house, perhaps out of town, after moving into house paintings this year.
The high-end confectionery chain Hotel Chocolat has been dragged into red numbers through the Covid-19 crisis.
Hotel Chocolat recorded a pre-tax loss of $7. 5 million in the last monetary year (until June 28), with a profit of $14. 1 million the previous year.
Revenue fell by 14% in January-June as the company was forced to close outlets due to the pandemic, affecting sales in the important Easter period, although an increase in online sales mitigated the damage.
President Andrew Gerrie tells the city:
After offering solid functionality in the first part of the year, the part of the moment was particularly interrupted through COVID-19 and related restrictions, which led to the closure of all UK outlets for 12 weeks and the closure of our plant for 8 weeks.
Here’s our report on Greggs’ payroll plan:

CMC Markets ‘David Madden says Greggs’ business appears to be improving as he recently partnered with Just Eat and submitted a click-and-collect offer.
Sales at controlled outlets through the company in September were 76. 1% compared to last year. The organization reopened all of its outlets in early July, sales increased in August and fell back in September. crisis, however, plans to open 20 net outlets this year, so it’s obviously not involved in the existing environment.
Digital service and click-and-collect features are now available across the country, helping your organization in the event of a localized crash. Manufacturing sites have also been reopened and new products are expected.

Greggs has also “reactivated” parts of his expansion plans.
It now plans to open 20 net outlets in 2020, basically in positions available through the car.
Greggs also found that two of its factories have been affected by two Covid-19 outbreaks in recent weeks.
Says:
In August, our chain of origin team handled a small COVID-19 incident at our Leeds distribution center and worked intensively with Leeds City Council and Public Health England to manage the stage on a temporary and professional basis. region over a five-day period, however, this was minimized with the help of other sites on the network.
Over the next week, we had another time at one of our production centers in Newcastle upon Tyne. As a precautionary measure, this production operation was temporarily closed, the distribution of stock was not affected.
On Sunday, we reported that Covid-19 infections in food plants may be much higher than officially reported, as some corporations reported outbreaks.
Greggs hopes Belgian buns can improve sales.
The pastry chain has put those caramel glazed buns, topped with sultana (with a cherry at the top) on the menu, to inspire shoppers to return to their stores.
With our seat offer closed, we were unable to participate in the “Eat Out to Help Out” government program, and this, at maximum temperatures, made August a difficult month.
Intensified out-of-home activities in September appear to have led to the resumption of visitor visits, so we recovered more of our diversity of products, adding a greater diversity of snacks and classic dishes such as Belgian. Buns.
Hello and welcome to our ongoing policy of the global economy, money markets, the euro and businesses.
Some British corporations now report that Covid-19 continues its business, more than six months after the UK first imposed restrictions to combat the pandemic.
Greggs Street Baker warned that they faced reduced schedules and potentially task cuts as they sought to reduce labor costs.
Greggs, known for its baked steaks, rolled sausages and new vegan deals, reports that comparable sales in September make up 76. 1% of the 2019 grades (an improvement over a “slow” August).
With the government’s leave program ending in a month (replaced through a less beneficiary wage subsidy program), Greggs says he wants to make cuts:
As business degrees generally remain for the foreseeable future, we want to replace the way we paint to be as productive and flexible as you can imagine to protect as many jobs as you can imagine in the long run. We have completed a review of our business and desires. in all the spaces of the corporate and now a series of adjustments are proposed that are the subject of collective consultation with trade union representatives and painters.
Our purpose is to minimize the threat of loss of tasks by negotiating reduced hours in our workshops and we will keep the final results of the consultation informed when it is finished.
Greggs isn’t the only supermarket company to suffer. Card Factory, which sells gifts and cards, has just recorded a tax-free loss of more than $22 million during the six months ending July 31.
Card Factory also warned that it is possible that it will only supply any monetary value over the next six months, due to the uncertainty surrounding the virus.
As the Christmas trading season approaches, Card Factory explains:
Recovery in the retail sector remains sensitive to Covid-19 case spikes and imaginable local or national restrictions, creates uncertainty about visitor assistance and shopping habits.
It is also too early to determine whether basket composition and average spending patterns, whether in-store and online, will continue or reach pre-Covid-19 levels.
John Menzies, who operates stopovers and in-flight refueling at UK airports, has also had a torrid (natural) period: he has just reported a loss of more than 80 million pounds by the first part of 2020 due to falling passenger traffic.
Executive Chairman Philipp Joeinig said the company had experienced something unprecedented this year:
The spread of Covid-19 has led to the imposition of an unprecedented point of restriction by governments around the world, severely affecting the aviation industry.
These restrictions have affected, in particular, the turnover of the Air Support and Air Replenishment Services Group. Volumes across all product categories have been reduced to the first part of 2019: escalation assistance was reduced by 50%, shipment tonnage by 22%, and fuel replenishment opportunities decreased by 41%, as expected with dramatic flight relief.
Going forward, Joeinig predicts that situations will be challenging for some time, given the decline in demand for air travel.
Shareholders:
Lately, we expect market situations to remain challenging during the winter and early next year, however, we expect a sustained recovery in activity grades thereafter, which will contribute to a modest expansion of profits in 2021 compared to 2020.
While distrusting the speed of recovery at the point of activity over the next 18 months, our restructured charge base and global portfolio rationalization enable the Group to generate higher yields as volumes improve.
The latest loan approval figures in the UK are expected to show an increase in loans in August, as others benefit from the current stamp tax holiday.
European stock markets are expected to be today’s theme, after their consultation since June Monday. Investors are worried about tonight’s US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Jasper Lawler of london Capital Group says markets are lately betting on Biden’s victory, so there may be volatility if Trump behaves well:
A primary upsteaval through Trump can reveal some market volatility as investors revaluate a imaginable period of time for Trump, or perhaps worse, a challenged election outcome and even longer delays until the next stimulus package is approved.
