Thrilled to host our 4th annual The Retail Summit x Retail Trust Charity Dinner on the 8th May at the Kimpton Fitzroy London. Over the last 3 years, the leaders of UK retail have helped us raise an incredible and much needed £190,000 for the Retail Trust. As always, all proceeds go to the amazing work they do in supporting our sector. From 1832 onwards, the Retail Trust has been caring for and protecting the lives of people working in retail, from frontline workers to senior leaders, whether at the start or end of their retail career. They make a difference by empowering people to lead happier lives, and their support is critical to the ongoing success of retail. We’ll be auctioning amazing, gifted items such as Signed Sporting Memorability, Exclusive Shopping Experiences, Holidays and more. We invite you to join us for an evening of drinks, dinner and entertainment with all proceeds benefitting the Retail Trust. Please note, tickets can only be booked by retailers, if you are not a retailer, reach out directly for ways to be involved.   To book your place: https://lnkd.in/eDcy62eh I look forward to welcoming you on the 8th May.

"Saudi is a big market. Doing retail without e-commerce doesn't work and doing e-commerce without brick and mortar retail also doesn't work, so doing it all at the same time is very important". We are revisiting some of they key insights at #TRSSaudi and going back to our opening panel, where experts discussed how Vision 2030 is creating new opportunities for businesses to evolve and thrive in KSA. A massive thank you to, Faysal AlMalki, CEO of AlMalki Group, John Hadden, CEO of Alshaya Group and Abdullah AlRugaib, Co-Founder and Managing Director of eyewa, and our wonderful moderator Maria Gedeon for such a strong opening to #TRSSaudi!
