UK retailer Next says no big Brexit impact so far as sales pick up

London

NEXT, one of Britain's biggest clothing retailers, reported a pickup in sales in its second quarter and said it had not seen a big impact on demand so far from Britain's vote to leave the European Union.

Several surveys have reported a drop in consumer confidence following the shock "Brexit" vote on June 23. But so far, there have been few signs of that translating into lower spending.
