#Love local, shop local
Why is it so important to support local
independent retailers?
It's very easy to find that you have spent the entire day shopping in Bath, with its premium shopping location in the shape of SouthGate, its boutique style shops or the treasure trove of retailers on Milsom Street.

retailers alive. If you were ever unsure of the benefits of buying from local shops, we've identified just a few.
Where is retail headed in 2021?
2020 has been a year full of uncertainty for the UK, with Coronavirus-induced lockdowns causing drastic fluctuations in consumer behaviour as well as the need to implement solutions that allow almost every industry to evolve to the current climate.
The need for technology has undoubtedly become clearer throughout this time, with the increasing prevalence of online zoom calls, online deliveries and in-app payments.
