Congratulations to the team for all they achieved in bringing to market the first Retail Design Expo. It was well-attended
with a great buzz, and the quality of participating agencies, service providers and speakers ensured the bar was set
high from the outset. The event provided a great representation of the experience of modern retail. With a creative
cross-section of ideas, talks and interactive display, there was something for everyone across the two days. This bodes
well for Retail Design Expo’s future success, and helps keep the best of UK design talent and innovation firmly on the
radar of retailers, marketeers and business.”
