| Welcome to www.retailersunited.co.uk - Shrewsbury |
|
| There are over 700 retail businesses in Shrewsbury town centre and a brand new collective has been formed to draw this business group together. The aims of the group are to contribute to marketing of the town as a retail destination and work with local councils to make serious improvements to the trading environment. |
|
| The traders group is a revolutionary new ‘model' for a business forum and is backed by The Learning and Skills Council in Shropshire who are anxious to discover the skills needs in this important industry sector. |
|
| The Management Board will meet bi-monthly to discuss seasonal campaigns, compare notes with other businesses, liase with Destination Shrewsbury on promotional activities and review transport and access issues with the County Council [the Highways Authority for the town centre]. |
|
| Fay Easton, secretary for the Management Board said: |
|
| “It is invaluable for Shrewsbury retailers to get together and discuss local trading conditions. With the retail sector in the UK predicted to suffer a slow down over the coming months, it is vital that the businesses act together to minimise the negative effects in Shrewsbury town centre.” |
|
| On the agenda for discussion are - current trading patterns, town centre events and marketing, Christmas promotions and the Park and Ride service. |
