Housewares Business-to-business magazine for housewares retailers and their suppliers
The British Independent Retailers Association (bira) has announced details of its next annual High Street Conference, which will take place on Thursday May 15 2014 at Four Pillars Hotel, Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire.
The conference will discuss ‘matters concerning independent retailers from across the retail sector and will offer advice and information on areas such as how to power sales, reduce overheads, boost profits and the pros and cons of going global or staying local’.
The conference interlinks with the bira direct (the central buying and invoicing subsidiary company of bira) Suppliers’ Conference, and service partners will be invited to talk about the benefits and preferential deals offered to bira members.
The event will end with a Gala Awards Dinner in the evening, when the achievements of young retailers, key suppliers and charitable champions of the retail industry will be celebrated.
