Now that Labour is now in power, hopefully they'll hold good to their manifesto promises and that independent retail will benefit from the election, with the party prioritising our industry and seeing the benefit in the local high street and the sense of community it instils in an ever-invading sea of chain stores. However, with the announcement of new employment laws and employee rights, this gives small businesses a new set of factors to learn and navigate; the Federation of Small Businesses has been vocal about the matter - so watch this space

As ever, this issue we've got the regular mix of industry news, new products, show news and business advice! Please do let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see more of, we’re here to help you get
the best out of the market.

The Professional Women's Network (PWN) is proud to announce a unique and empowering event during London Fashion Week. On Friday, 13th September, at Future Dreams House, PWN will host a special fashion show to empower young women with Down Syndrome and raise funds for Books Beyond Words, a charity dedicated to helping young adults and children understand the world through pictures and books. Books Beyond Words was founded on a touching story of a child visited every Thursday by their only parent, their father.
