Stephen joins Primark's 50th Anniversary Reception to celebrate the British high street

Yesterday, Tuesday 22 October, Stephen joined Primark’s 50th Anniversary Reception to celebrate the British high street and Primark’s support of it.

Stephen joined Primark’s 50th Anniversary Reception to hear more about how Primark are supporting the local high street and their commitment to keep investing in physical retail.

Every week, Primark stores draw 2.3 million people onto the high street. Primark’s has invested more than £100 million in its UK stores in 2024 alone.

“The high street is part of the fabric of our local community,” Stephen said after the reception. “Primark has supported our high street in Newham, through their investment in their store on High Street North, and I am delighted to hear that they intend to continue their fifty-year tradition of putting local retail first.”
