## Description

An independent UK retail trade publication, running since 2002. The daily newsletter carries trading updates, results, store openings and appointments across grocery, fashion, home and the rest of the high street. Editor Angela Beevers leads the news team, and columnist Glynn Davis writes features and interviews. Everything is free, with no paywall. For an app vendor it is context on UK retailers, not on software.

## Watch for

Almost all physical and high-street retail, with very little on ecommerce software and nothing on Shopify apps. The business behind it runs events, summits and roundtables where vendors pay to sponsor and speak. Its whitepapers and sponsored pages come from those vendors. Its own figure of 21,000+ subscribed decision makers is a claim, not an audited number.
