BIG thinking for the smaller business
is a young company full of vision and with a passion for SME retailing — but the youth of the company shouldn't fool anyone.
Between them our directors and associates have over seventy years of retail experience in a range of companies, product areas and delivery channels, from corner shop to retail banking and high street chains
Our team have vast experience in analysing, evaluating and assessing retail business processes and training needs. We also have a great deal of experience in working with trade associations and town centre management schemes in supporting SME retailers in their important roles within local economies and in acting as intermediaries between the businesses and other local bodies, such as local authorities.
Our company operates as a combination of consultancy and an interim management service, providing solutions to problems that are otherwise beyond the experience and expertise of entrepreneurs operating in the complex arena of modern day retailing as a small to medium sized enterprise.
We provide a range of services centred upon problem solving and providing skills that are outside the normal skill-sets demanded for running a retail business, skills that large companies draw on through their specialist department heads usually based at head office.
Your business is our passion
~ we believe passionately that independent retail businesses are fundamental to their local economies.
SME Retailers (small to medium sized retailers) increasingly have to compete in an environment that is characterized by regulation and marginalization due to a complex array of external influences and factors. Policy makers, including local authorities, town centre management schemes, Business Improvement District (BID) schemes, central government and others, have the power to influence the physical and economic environment in which the SME retailers exist. Additionally, there are other organizations and events, such as, trade associations, civil engineering projects and the supply chain that can also influence the trading environment to a greater or lesser extent.
