From the Editor

Welcome to the latest edition of Alert – I hope you had a good summer and managed to get away. After a quiet few weeks – several retailers I’ve spoken to have said things have been tough – fingers crossed, we’re back into the busy period, with the run-up to Black Friday and peak season. But before all that, we’ve got the Retra Conference (October 17, Double Tree By Hilton, Coventry) to look forward to. I’ll be reporting on the event for the next issue of Alert so if you're attending, come and find me and say hello.
