The Disruptors: The businesses revolutionising retail property

Seven Dials, London, on a sunny day

The latest instalment of Retail Week’s Disruptors series shines a spotlight on some of the businesses reimagining bricks-and-mortar for a post-pandemic world.

Data from the Centre for Retail Research highlights the toll that has been taken on stores and, consequently, jobs across the sector since Covid-19 hit. In 2020, more than 16,000 stores were shut with the loss of 182,546 jobs.
