Success loves good company

We bring the major retail trends of tomorrow, to market today.

Change in retail is inevitable, driven by the constant evolution of markets, regulations and consumer preferences. To stay competitive and relevant, retailers must anticipate and adapt to these shifts.

PRESSURE: Upcoming Eco-Legislation
Legislative and investor pressure to comply with ESG & Zero Waste Policies.
Over 10 new sets of legislation are currently being developed across the UK and EU. These will significantly impact existing business models and organisations will risk fines and reputational damage if they do not comply.
TREND: The Rise of Social Commerce and Resell
According to a report by Straits Research and verified by Statista, revenue driven by social commerce is set to reach $1.2 trillion worldwide this year and grow by 31.6% year-on-year to reach $6.2 trillion by 2030.
Environmental concerns and the cost-of-living crisis have driven shoppers towards ‘pre-loved’ garments. According to a report by GlobalData, this caused global sales of pre-owned clothes to surge by 18% to $197 billion last year and are forecast to reach $350 billion by 2028.
