Retail

With the continued decline of the high street, the rise of e-tailers and a turbulent period for a number of prominent supermarkets, 2014 was an interesting year for the retail sector. The UK may not, famously, be ‘a nation of shop-keepers’, but retailing is certainly an important industry in this country, employing some three million people. The retail industry has an increasing international presence and many of our leaders, in both food and non-food sectors, are respected individuals the world over, leaders of some of the biggest and most successful businesses in the retail world, as well as influential online innovators and entrepreneurs.
