Saving the high street

In this issue’s blog, we delve into the findings of a new nationwide survey released by Spring & Autumn Fair, in partnership with SaveTheHighStreet.org. The survey paints a stark picture of the mounting pressures faced by independent retailers across the UK – from rising costs and business rates to dwindling footfall – but also reveals clear solutions that retailers believe could turn the tide.

Among the most commonly requested changes? Increased access to grants, improved high street infrastructure, and more community focused events to bring people back into local shopping areas. What’s clear is that independent retail isn’t asking for a handout – it’s asking for a real plan. As the survey puts it, this is not a cry for help, but a data-backed blueprint for how to revive and futureproof Britain’s high streets.

This is a crucial moment. If we want to protect the heart of our communities, we need meaningful support from those in power – and we need it now. It’s time to apply pressure, collaborate, and keep pushing for the changes that will give our local shops the footing they deserve.

Because let’s face it: we’re bursting at the seams with incredible products ready to fill those shelves. In this issue, I explore the best in fashion accessories, including Patterns & Prints, Silver Jewellery, Ceramic & Glass Jewellery, and Hats, Gloves & Scarves – perfect for those seeking something stylish, seasonal, and standout.

We’re also shining a spotlight on industry superstars – this time delving into the story behind the beloved jewellery brand Reeves & Reeves.

Enjoy the read – and here’s to a thriving high street future.

Help in a crisis

Employees and workforces across the UK are feeling the strain of the cost of-living, with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) finding that nearly half of households throughout the country have experienced their living costs increasing compared to the previous month. Not only can this have a huge impact on expenses for commuting but can have a significant knock-on effect on mental health and morale. This is where employers and businesses can support their workforces during these difficult times to help keep morale and well-being boosted, as well as providing options that can help relieve some of the financial pressure that they're under. Before providing solutions to the issue, it's important to understand the reality of this crisis and how the ripple effects impact millions of workers in the UK. The rise of consumer goods and services by 9.6 percent in October 2022 and the inflation rate staying at 4.2 percent exiting December 2023 means that workers are forced to reevaluate how they manage their money and the resources available.
