2020 has been one of the most challenging years in recent history for everyone; personally, professionally and for the economy. With a nationwide lockdown shutting all but non-essential retail and leisure units, 80% of the market faced an extended period during which they were completely unable to trade. Since non-essential retail started to reopen on the 15th June, our research team has been working extremely hard to collect as much information on the new landscape across GB. Everything we knew about market performance prior to COVID-19 has changed.
This event will be the first opportunity to quantify the impact the pandemic has had so far and to discuss what we might be able to expect in the coming months and years.
We'll share the latest data on vacancy rates, openings and closures across sectors alongside regional and location-type analysis to demonstrate how the pandemic has changed the physical retail landscape.
As in previous events, we are inviting retail leaders to join us to discuss their experiences from the first half of the year and take questions from the audience.
From our initial analysis, it is clear that we will have a huge amount to discuss at this open event. You don't want to miss it!
