Our last Manifesto came out before the General Election and a lot has changed since. But for the industry, many of the barriers to investment remain. In fact, some have got a whole lot more challenging. This may not be an election year but our policy recommendations for government are as important as ever. That’s why we published our 2025 Manifesto for Retail, Kickstarting Growth in the Everywhere Economy.

Everybody has their Boxing Day traditions, whether it’s a family meal, a day for movies and leftovers, or – for many – a day at the shops. The Boxing Day sales are a major event for millions of people, offering the final chance of the year to grab a great bargain, or pick up some essentials for the year ahead. To make these sales possible, retailers are working overtime to prepare their stores, with hundreds of thousands of staff reporting for duty on Boxing Day.
