A decade ago, online retail was in its infancy. Today, it’s become a powerful retail channel disruptor. Not simply a new fad or gimmick, but bringing lasting, generational, structural change across the industry. Few would argue that this was a supernova moment for retailers, in all sectors. It has spawned a wave of new technologies that can serve shoppers better. It challenged the dominant positions of established ‘bricks-and-mortar’ brands that for decades had enjoyed doing things the old way. New brands and retailers have been born, challenging incumbent players and stamping on rose-tinted glasses — refusing to look at the world through nostalgic eyes. It has been the game changer — ruthless in its growth and impact. 

“ Retail remains on a journey; one that has only just begun.”

But has not signalled the death of the high street, as some predicted. Instead, it has (although too late for some) been the catalyst for much-needed industry-wide transformation. Global brands with a vision, the drive and capital funds have integrated the leading edge of digital technology across stores and online operations to reinvent themselves as more relevant, attractive and better equipped ‘all channel’ merchants for tomorrow. Retail remains on a journey; one that has only just begun.
