‘Retail contributes billions of pounds to the UK economy every year, so I am thrilled to have this opportunity to share my expertise and hear the perspectives of those working in different parts of the sector. The UK retail sector is at a critical point, with plenty of challenges but also opportunities for those who can adapt their model for today’s ever-changing consumers. Ruth’s insight will be invaluable in helping us to understand the wider economic landscape in which retailers are operating, and the factors impacting their performance’ – Dr Tim Denison, Founder Member – RTT
