Retail NI has announced a revamped line up for its High Street Summit on 25th February at the Belfast Harbour Commissioners. The event is supported by Titanic Quarter and Belfast Harbour.
Leading High Street and regeneration experts Dr Lucy Montague from Manchester School of Architecture and John Percy Senior Director from CBRE will headline a range of keynote speakers at the event. A panel of the five main political parties, Shadow Secretary of State for NI, Titanic Quarter CEO and the USDAW General Secretary will also make key contributions.
Retail NI will also launch the results of its latest survey of members on the Cost of Doing Business Crisis and a five-point plan setting out policy priorities for the NI Executive.
Speaking ahead of the event, Retail NI Chief Executive Glyn Roberts said:
“Our focus at the Summit will not just be on the many problems facing our high streets, but the solutions and practical takeaways from other successful regeneration projects elsewhere in the UK”
“Retail NI will also be setting out a five-point plan to address the Cost of Doing Business Crisis and the results of our comprehensive member survey on National Insurance, Living Wage and Business Rates”
