According to chief executive Steve Heapy, the number of online transactions across the economy has remained high, even after a mild reduction once town centres reopened following periods of lockdown.

"High streets were closed for a long time and people moved to online [shopping]," Heapy told delegates on day two of the Hays Travel Independence Group Conference on Sunday (27 March).
