The Voice of Irish Retail

I cannot speak highly enough of Retail Excellence and the invaluable support they have offered us at EZ Living Interiors over the last 5 years. As a company, we have greatly benefited from the expert guidance and support on business and HR issues provided by Retail Excellence. One of the standout features is the exceptional events they organise, such as the Retail Excellence Awards. These events offer a unique platform for businesses to learn from each other, gain insights into industry trends and benchmark against the best in the business. Through these events and networking opportunities, we have had the chance to engage with fellow retailers, discuss day-to-day challenges, and share innovative ideas. This collaborative spirit creates an environment where creative solutions arise, and the industry as a whole benefits.

The main service I use is Retail Excellencet which offers me discounts on most of the suppliers I use, meaning we can make a little more profit. Membership means I've got somebody at the end of the phone to speak to at any time.

As someone who's been in the retail industry for over a decade, I can't stress enough the value of being a member of Retail Excellence. The insights, resources, and network opportunities have been invaluable for Faerly's growth.

I have been a member of Retail Excellence throughout my retail career which I have found really beneficial for the group. The network has such a wide variety of events, workshops, training sessions and now webinars, It is the openness and the interaction between members we find so helpful, you can contact fellow members to get insights on trade, trends and everyone is willing to support. My contacts and connections in Retail Excellence have been really supportive during the pandemic.   I would highly recommend retailers to join the network to help with learnings, ideas, support and most of all to build your network

Esquires Coffee has been associated with Retail Excellence for over 10 years and we are delighted to be members. We have found membership throughout this period as being crucial to our business. We get huge support from the Retail Excellence HO team and among other things find their HR support and Sectoral findings invaluable. There is a great sense of camaraderie among all the Hospitality members of Retail Excellence with everyone willing to share and help one another. RE’s weekly bulletins, webinars, seminars, sectoral meetings etc are a huge help in further educating ourselves and keeping abreast of trends.  We are members of various trade organisations but without doubt, we benefit most from our membership of Retail Excellence.

We have been working with Retail Excellence as a source of advice and an advocacy group for many years. We are continually impressed with the Retail Excellence approach to our sector, their hands-on assistance with any issues and the immediate response from the extremely helpful team. The information & seminars are a useful resource, the group is lucky to have very experienced retailers that are happy to share their expertise in the complex trade we operate. As a sector we must act together to keep the shared interests of our profession to the forefront of Government policy and decision making, it is only through a unified group that solely represents Retail that we can achieve this critical goal.
