Industry praise

"Good supply chain management is critical to successful retailing and in the current economic climate it has taken on a renewed significance. Getting the supply chain right will define which businesses survive the recession and establish themselves for growth in the period beyond. I am honoured to open this summit which is an important opportunity to share the strategic and practical solutions to the challenges our industry faces."

"Who do we turn to when they want to keep informed and updated about the business that we serve? Retail Week. I am delighted that Retail Week will be launching their first Supply Chain Summit in early February 2010.

I can recommend this event to any one that is engaged in Supply Chain Management, which, when you consider it most of us are."

"An ideal opportunity to dissect the challenges, explore the opportunities and plan the future"

"The Retail Week supply chain summit is a great opportunity for retailers to share, hear and understand the issues of the day and benchmark their own supply chain capabilities with those of their peer group."

"An excellent line-up for sharing, learning and debating."

"An ideal and innovative opportunity to explore with peers the challenges facing the retail apparel market, and to absorb valuable insights from across the industry regarding Global Supply Chain challenges and opportunities"

"I am delighted to get the opportunity to take part in the summit, as the agenda is absolutely relevant to the current challenges we all face. The opportunity to exchange information and ideas with some of the most experienced people in the supply chain business was too good an opportunity to miss."
