Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host is Andy Davies and this is Episode Eight of Season 14.
This episode is one of those where we pose one simple question to some retailers – how’s business?
These are always some of our most listened to episodes, and it’s not hard to see why, the kbb market is flat at best, no one knows when that will change and, oh yes, the rest of the world seems to have genuinely gone mad.
So, Andy’s kbbreview colleague George Dean went off to the annual MHK Conference in Berlin a couple of weeks ago and managed to catch a few UK retailers.
What’s fascinating about this one, as you’ll hear, is that our retailers are answering that question really by talking about how they’re changing, adapting, trying new things and being pretty proactive, rather than complaining about the state of the market.
It’s actually great to hear and, to us anyway, that’s a real sign that the independent market can do a lot to grab hold of the market and shake it, rather than waiting to be shook.
