UK. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) and ITN Productions have released ‘The Changing Face of Retail’, a news and current-affairs programme that explores how the retail industry is changing.
‘The Changing Face of Retail’, fronted by national newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky, explores the impact of changes in the way people shop on businesses, staff and consumers.
‘The Changing Face of Retail’ premiered on 16 May at the British Retail Consortium’s Retail 2020 event at Kings Place, London. It features interviews with a number of leading retail industry figures and news-style reports, along with sponsored editorial profiles of organisations helping to drive change within the industry.
BRC Chief Executive Helen Dickinson said: “The retail industry is at the epicentre of huge changes and is working towards a vision of better and more rewarding jobs. For the first time, this programme brings that journey to life. We hope that people watching the film gain a better understanding of the remarkable journey that the retail industry is on and join in the conversation about it. We’re delighted to have worked with a talented ITN team to tell the story.”
