CONSUMER PRODUCTS & SERVICES
EXPERTISE  CONSUMER PRODUCTS & SERVICES
The UK retail market is predicted to increase in size by 15% over the next five years, taking its value to just over £312bn (UK Retail Futures 2011: Sector Summary, Datamonitor). This however represents a slowing down of annual growth and with operating costs and the cost of credit set to rise, the retail sector faces challenging times. Companies unable to compete against shrinking margins will suffer. The electricals sector is currently the best performer, with a predicted growth of 24% (UK Retail Futures 2011: Sector Summary, Datamonitor), while the home sector retailers face a tough period as falling house prices make people more cautious about moving home.
There are over 3 million people employed in this sector, according to 2009 figures and this equates to about 11% of the total UK workforce. The team consist of highly focused members with expertise and knowledge of industry as well as personal experience gained from prior line positions in, or consulting to, financial institutions.
