2025 Manifesto for Retail | Kickstarting growth in the everywhere economy

We've published our 2025 Manifesto for Retail - Kickstarting growth in the everywhere economy - setting out the potential of retail to kickstart growth in all parts of the UK.

Whilst high costs are holding back retail investment, the government has ample opportunity to create the conditions to stimulate retail investment. Our 2025 manifesto sets out how the government can ensure that upcoming policies help, rather than hinder, retailers' ability to invest in growth, people and sustainability. 

Download our manifesto below and explore how policies from reform of business rates and the Apprenticeship Levy, to planning policy, circular economy policies and food strategy, can be implemented in a way which gives retailers the ability to kickstart growth.
