Small Business Week feels like the perfect opportunity to support more independent retailers.

Every week inside the Impact Retail Success Club, we have honest conversations about the real challenges facing independent businesses — from margins and staffing to customer experience, leadership and growth.

Running a business can feel isolating at times, and often the most valuable thing is simply being around other retailers who understand the pressures, challenges and opportunities involved.

That’s why, for this special session, we’re opening up our weekly Retail Success Club Business Clinic and inviting other independent retailers to join us.

I’ve spent many years running and growing businesses myself through Turnbull's Northumbrian Food Hall, as well as working with independent retailers through Impact Retail Training, and I genuinely believe better conversations lead to better businesses.

Hopefully this session gives you ideas, perspective and encouragement you can take back into your own business
