Retail crime is an issue and it is not just shop theft. Over half of UK small businesses suffered a cyber breach or attack last year. In just 3-5 minutes, the UK Government’s free Cyber Action Plan from the @NCSC. Time to take action now - ncsc.gov.uk/cyberaware/act…

#post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bbc.co.uk/news/live/c05g… . Not sure I can agree with this @BBCSimonJack. We welcome reform but that will take time. We must retain the retail rates discount at 75% (RHL relief) now. The Chancellor said" high street businesses breathe life into communities" - then save the relief!!

@RachelReevesMP said today "high street businesses breather new life into communities" but "are punished by business rates". @biraofficial agrees and is urging the Chancellor to retain the RHL rates at 75% discount that is due to end next year

More should follow the example #indiehour. Problem is often absent landlords but that is for another time

@castleartisanevents@castleartisan

@bira_CEO @retailmentoring There was a great scheme (that I think may still be in place) where @NewcastleBID were offering town centre businesses small grants to help them spruce up their frontages 💫

Last few minutes of #Indiehour and let me provide - interest rates will be lower, inflation will be lower, energy costs will be lower, average earning increasing more that inflation - all positives for stringer retail in second half this year. All we need its the sunshine

yes.If it is not better than the ustomer already has, Global will still work to match it. Careful thoughhe rates is not the best indicator of a good deal. Some providers have low rates but lots of other add ons Anyone interested email anmdrew.goodacrew @bira.co.uk

Yes I think it has to be, and even the small retailers can do this - and many do it very well. There is somne good vlaue clever tech pout there so not everyone needs to be a Google SEO expert to succeed #Indiehour. A good example is NearSt

Richard Shorney@retailmentoring

#Omnichannel is the way forward #IndieHour What do you think?

So we have a long standing relationship with Global payments. Very competitive rates and also introducing new, smarter technology. Do not know the rates but Global say they will not be beaten! #Indiehour

#Indiehour - very good pint on click and collect. Was talking to some large retailer last week who were telling me that this is growing all the time and yes it does build footfall. of course we need accessibility if people want to collect from a high street @retailmentoring
