Sales employees working in the fast-moving consumer goods sector must be doing a good job as the Office for National Statistics has revealed that retail sales have grown throughout 2006. According to seasonally adjusted data, overall sales are up by one per cent on the same period 12 months ago and have seen an increase of 0.5 per cent in the last three months. According to ONS, this represents a steady growth trend throughout 2006 as there was a 0.6 per cent increase between July and October. The report by the ONS said: "Based on non-seasonally adjusted data, the average weekly value of retail sales in November was £5.5 million, 3.7 per cent higher than November 2005 and up 10.9 per cent compared to October. "In September to November, the value of sales in current prices was 3.8 per cent higher than in the same period a year earlier." As well as being good news for shop floor staff in the fast-moving consumer goods market, it represents an upward swing for senior sales employees and marketing teams.
