future. retailapocolypse.
It’s been a year since our last Future of Retail report and the past 12 months have been even harder than the previous for the UK High Street. A reported 21,000 retail jobs were lost last year with big-name retailers such as Thomas Cook, Debenhams and Boots closing stores and 2019 reported to be the worse year of UK retail ever recorded.
So, after another year of bad news, what does the future hold for UK retail? Are we coming to the end of the Retailapocolypse; providing a blueprint for a completely new retail model?
