Independent Thinking – Exploring a new era for retail and the high street

Independent Thinking – Exploring a new era for retail and the high street

by

A podcast exploring a new era for the high street – we discuss how bricks and mortar retail is evolving across the UK, and why the ‘death of the high street’ is far from inevitable. Join us as we go behind the scenes of inspiring retailers and shops you love, speak to industry experts making their predictions for the future, and hear from those at the heart of it all, sharing stories about how they started, how they continue to evolve and why they believe in their local high street.
