Join us at the ILC’s retail business summit, which is being held as part of our Healthy Retail Programme, a major campaign focussed on supporting retailers to engage with the opportunities of an ageing society.

The event will take place on Wednesday 29 November at One Great George Street, with a light lunch available from 12.40pm, and discussions from 1.15pm – 2.30pm.

We are delighted that Kevin Hollinrake, the Minister for Enterprise, Markets and Small Business, who is responsible for retail, will be joining us at this event as a keynote contributor.

The ILC’s Healthy Retail programme is supported by the University of Stirling and UK Research and Innovation as part of the Government’s Healthy Ageing Challenge. It brings together insight from across research and practice to consider how to future-proof the retail sector by capitalising on the opportunities of an ageing population, of consumers and workers. We know that there is enormous potential associated with ageing: not least because, in the UK economy, older consumers will hold 63p in every £1 of spending power by 2040.

We will be joined by leading consumer journalist, feature writer, columnist and broadcaster, Harry Wallop, who will chair our discussion, and ensure that our conversation is productive.

In advance of the meeting, you may be interested in exploring our recently released suite of five retail guides here, which demonstrate examples of inspiring small changes that make a difference to people, communities and businesses.
