This summit is organised by Catherine Erdly, founder of Future Retail Consulting
"I was inspired to create this online resource for creative product businesses as I am passionate about this community, and wanted to help any way I could during this difficult time.
I believe that we are better together, and that those of us who take a proactive, upbeat attitude will come out of this period of disruption stronger than ever"
Catherine has over 19 years experience working with product businesses of all sizes from high street names (such as Paperchase, Laura Ashley and Coast), all the way down to brand new businesses with just a handful of customers. She helps product businesses grow their sales, manage their stock and make more money.
As well as speaking at numerous trade shows such as Top Drawer, The Stationery Show, Fashion SVP, Natural and Organic Products - Europe and the Retail Expo, Catherine is also on the Editorial Board of Modern Retail, a judge of the Good Retail awards and a contributor to Better Retailing Magazine and Stationery Matters.
