Insight Market Focus London, 15-17 May 2024
Insight Research can’t wait to welcome industry friends to London – which is definitely back as one of the outstanding global destinations for any retailer seeking new ideas. If you want to see an inspirational breadth of offers being invented and reinvented for the future there is nowhere better to be.
How is London responding to its new circumstances?
This May it will be 3 years since the UK relaxed the last of its main Covid restrictions. Since then, London’s most innovative retailers have been responding at pace to the challenges and opportunities created by the huge shifts in the way we live and work.
We’re delighted to share that our London programme will feature a number of outstanding retailers who have kindly agreed to share the story of their latest innovations.
Marks & Spencer
Marks & Spencer has been one of the most remarkable turnaround stories of recent years and are quick to tell anyone they are only just getting going!
We’ll be interviewing and hearing a presentation from Marks & Spencer Channels Director Matt Harrison and visiting its latest Marks & Spencer Food convenience stores, including the recently re-opened M&S London Waterloo; probably the best high volume case study anywhere in the world.
The opportunities for engagement will be significant, M&S site visits will also be hosted by Jon Statham, Convenience Store Director at M&S and Nick Wright, Head of Convenience Operation at M&S.
Kavanagh’s at Belsize Park
Kavanagh’s at Belsize Park has been one of the most discussed new stores of 2023 – the perfect suburban top-up store! We’re thrilled to see stores that are so demonstrably fresh and food loving coming through and will also be talking to Noel Kavanagh ahead of the event to take us through their wonderful story.
