The latest issue of NR is now live online!
The April issue of Neighbourhood Retailer is now available to read online, packed with the latest news, insights and NPD.
Our cover story focuses on the shocking figures revealing Northern Ireland to have the highest levels of retail staff abuse in the UK.
With shop workers repeatedly verbally abused for simply doing their jobs, NR looks at the rises in these incidents and what security measures are available for retailers here.
In a shock announcement at their annual pay day event, Food Force Ireland’s Trading Controller Debra Johnston announced her retirement, saying the time is right for her to step back. NR sat down with Debra to discuss her work with the organisation over the last 25 years.
Meanwhile, the fuel crisis continues unabated with businesses of all sizes affected as they try to address customer concerns and deal with further rising business costs. NR speaks to some of those affected to find out more.
Elsewhere, entries are opened for this year’s NR Awards and we take a look back to our hugely successful previous Retailer of the Year winners as well as the winners of the inaugural New Product Launch of the Year award.
As well as all the latest news and exciting NPD within the Soft and Energy Drinks sector, don’t forget to check out a brand-new feature focusing on the work carried out by dedicated store managers across Northern Ireland.
