House of Fraser has seen a massive jump in people shopping on its website.

Its web sales were up 91% in the 8 week run up to Christmas.

Boots, cosmetics and knitwear were the most popular products sold online.

The online figures contribute to an overall growth of 7.1% in the 8 weeks to January 2, including its best ever Christmas week and a 27% rise in Boxing Day sales.

House of Fraser is the latest retailer to post good Christmas sales figures.

That’s despite the British Retail Consortium warning of a tough year ahead.
