RETAIL REFUNK ROUNDTABLE
CANCELLED – WEDNESDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 2023, 6:00-10:00PM – CANCELLED
The retail sector is up on its feet and getting back into the groove after the challenges of the pandemic.
Right on cue, we’re hosting an intimate roundtable discussion (and dinner!) to help retailers seize the moment, learn from each other, and get their questions answered.
It’s happening on Wednesday 27 September, 6-10pm, at Birmingham’s stunning Hotel du Vin. In attendance, there’ll be leading figures and decision makers from some of the UK’s most influential retailers.
This will be a collaborative session and, for the most part, the discussion will be led by you and our other guests as we enjoy a three-course meal together from the hotel’s excellent menu.
Cat Kelly, Cooper Parry’s Head of Retail and Relationship Partner will be on hosting duties, covering a number of key topics to get the conversation flowing.
It’s got all the makings of a fantastic, insightful evening, and we hope to see you there.
KEY TOPICS
- The challenges of fast-growing businesses
- Breaking out of the UK and International Expansion
- E-Commerce
- Supply Chain issues
