Better Retailing Podcast: Season 3, Episode 3

"Can I lock a criminal in my shop for two weeks?"

For episode four of season three we have a brilliant conversation about the ongoing menace that is retail crime, prompted by the comments from the M&S Retail Director last week. While we may not know what to do to solve it, we do know the human every day impact of it and how important it is to solve it.

Elsewhere, we also ask whether an investment in retail crime prevention technology is worth it - and look at what it can deliver for stores.

We ask how government and industry can stop rogue traders and cut down on illicit traders; and the team reflect on the incredible chat with Thomas Ennis from the last episode – how he deals with his fresh food, and his hiring, and how he uses his margin on fresh to deliver value across his store.

And we talk on sales data and how you can use it, and how you can look at what data provides stores; and reflect on Easter, including some scintillating chat on the barcodes of Creme Eggs.

Better Retailing Podcast: Season 3, Episode 3

"There's nothing else I'd want to do. I, I love it"

For episode three of season three we are privileged to be joined by Thomas Ennis, CEO of The Thomas Ennis Group. Thomas joins us from Dublin and talks over his journey from the butchers' counter to running 13 - soon to be 14 - Spar, Eurospar and Maxol stores across Ireland.

It is a fascinating chat that encompasses successes, failures, focus and, above all, a real love of retail.

Better Retailing Podcast: Season 3, Episode 2

"If you waited until April to have your chest infection, you could have got sick pay from day one"

On the second episode of season three, the team ploughs on despite the loss of Aman, who is busy selling condos in Dubai instead of beans in Coventry.

It's an interesting episode that covers crime prevention and how a back to basics approach might help add in a level of crime reduction that you perhaps hadn't thought about; whether the Police and the Government do or do not care about small stores and how they can stay alive in these trying times; and the upcoming sick pay rules and what impact they might have.

Among other things. You should remain thankful that Atul's story about a Chinese restaurant has been cut out; a director's cut is available from Stefan or Louise for the right price...
