What Our Members Say
The BRC provides me and my team with vital support. Information, developments and emerging topics of vast breadth and depth are reviewed and summarised in easily digestible chunks, enabling us to cut straight to strategy and action. Thank you for doing what you do!
A great resource to have access to other retailers that are facing many of the same challenges as us.
The BRC allows a fiercely competitive sector to come together on some of the most important issues of the day. When it focuses on the long term topics that require well considered political and legal change it is at its most effective.
A positive and considered voice for our industry, useful learning/ business-focused communities that help our team in their roles, and data insights that help us benchmark our performance.
The BRC is invaluable in bringing retailers together to discuss crucial topics and then lobby the retailer message to government on our behalf. The BRC’s media presence and focus on promoting the interests of retailers allows us to align on issues impacting the sector.
A great partnership, adding substantial value to many functions of the business, especially the ESG and People team.
A very effective business network that provides insight and coordinates industry opinion.
