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.
