Is there light at the end of the tunnel for retailers?

April 2024

The Retail Think Tank is a trusted window into what is really happening in retail.

Through its quarterly meetings the group develops and publishes thought leadership to address both the health of the retail sector and the challenges it faces.

At the latest Retail Think Tank meeting, members looked at the sector’s performance and outlook in the first half of 2024 – and where firms should focus as growth begins to return.
