THINKING wider and WIDER thinking
SME Retailers (small to medium sized retailers) increasingly have to compete in an environment that is characterized by regulation and marginalization due to a complex array of external influences and factors. Policy makers, including local authorities, town centre management schemes, Business Improvement District (BID) schemes, central government and others, have the power to influence the physical and economic environment in which the SME retailers exist. Additionally, there are other organizations and events, such as, trade associations, civil engineering projects and the supply chain that can also influence the trading environment to a greater or lesser extent.
Recognising and understanding the importance of SME Retailers to local economies, WELBECK retail is here to facilitate and intermediate in relationships between any of these groups; to initiate and generate new ideas and solutions; providing the most cost effective and beneficial outcomes to secure a positive trading environment and improved town centre.
