In this special episode, The Retail Exchange reports from Spring Fair 2022 at the NEC Birmingham, to bring you a review of the flagship four-day wholesale retail event.

For those who have an eye on wholesale retail, Spring Fair has traditionally had a strong spot on their roster. Its physical presence may well have been on pause since 2020 but this year it's back, to claim the mantle of being Europe's biggest post-pandemic industry event to date. And with a distinct era of hope and optimism as well.

Brands big and small grace to show to present their ways and propel their products into stores and ultimately, consumers homes up and down the UK and beyond.

On this episode, we bring you a choice selection of interviews and discussion from the UK’s leading wholesale retail event. We showcase a strong showing from some of the standout exhibitors at the show. Hear the views of panellists about how pop-ups can help rejuvenate our high streets. And we speak to the man who helped Selfridges Fenwick, Primark and Harrods to grow their physical store sales, as he tell us how retailers can cope with change the lens of a customer-centered culture. All that's coming up on this episode of the retail exchange podcast in partnership with Spring Fair 2022.
