From the Editor

Welcome to the winter issue of Alert – our final edition of the year. I’ve heard reports that the last few months have been quiet for many retailers – the market is tough – but it’s been a busy time for yours truly, as is reflected in this copy of the magazine. We’ve had the Retra Conference – this year’s sustainability-themed event was one of the best I’ve attended, with lots of great and thought-provoking content on some very relevant topics, including electric vehicles, energy efficiency, recycling, the future of the high street and the impact of AI (Artificial Intelligence) on the retail sector. I’d like to wish you all a prosperous peak season and a merry Christmas. All the best for 2024 – see you on the other side.
