Summary

Primark plans to begin home deliveries by the end of 2027, after its owner Associated British Foods (ABF) brought the launch forward by about two years. George Weston, ABF's chief executive, said the company has acquired a robot-assisted warehouse and intends to have the UK service running before the end of 2027. The move is aimed at winning new shoppers after a slide in profits at the cut-price fashion chain.
