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 very effective business network that provides insight and coordinates industry opinion.


The BRC continues to do an excellent job of supporting the retail sector and its individual members on a wide variety of issues.


Adds a lot to our business, great sounding board, very well connected and able to influence.


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.
