The Co-operative Group is the latest top retailer to confirm its attendance at C-Store Forum, which is taking place in the Algarve from 13 to 14 June this year.
Jonathan Perry, senior marketing manager, stores format design, and Calum Kirk, category trading manager of non-food, fuel and drinks, will be representing the group and rubbing shoulders with their peers from Bestway, BP, Costcutter, James Hall& Co., Landmark Wholesale, Motor Fuel Group, MPK Garages, Murco Petroleum, Musgrave, Nisa, Petrogas, TOP, Topaz, United Wholesale and Welcome Break, amongst others.
This group of retailers will be gathering at the Tivoli Victoria Hotel, Vilamoura, to meet with a selection of suppliers representing food-to-go, energy control systems, signage, branding, design, lighting& LED, display systems, in-store media and retail technology for one-and-a-half days of one-to-one pre-arranged meetings, networking and debate.
With IGD predicting that the UK convenience store market will be worth £42.6bn by 2015 – up about one-third of its current value– retailers and suppliers alike are recognising the importance of networking and maximising efficient use of their time, exemplified in the speed-meeting model of these forums.
OpenRoom director, Fiona Horan, said:“The interest in this forum continues to grow year on year – and we’re delighted that companies in this sector recognise the value of a networking forum as a significant tool for future growth.”
Along with the meetings program, there will be an opening session by David Shrimpton of Independent Retail News, as well as an presentation from David Smith, chief executive of Global Futures and Foresight, who will take a look at the Social Networks and how to leverage interactive dialogue with customers.
