@Tesco just a thought, but do you really consider it an appropriate use of your space selling Easter eggs right now? No one is interested. Why not use the space for something a little more useful. If there is no supply issue, use the Space for toilet roll.

The number of retailers failing in #Scotland in 2018 is set to be the highest in five years. Between 2012 and 2017 298 #retailers in Scotland have failed which equates to one retailer entering #insolvency every week over the entire five-year period. https://t.co/ckaUTWnuHD #debt

[Brian Milne @BrianFDDebt]

Analysis of official #Insolvency Service statistics found that 56 #retailers have gone bust in the first three quarters of this year which is already higher than the 48 which collapsed during the whole of 2017. #insolvency #debt #retailproblems #retail

A no-deal #Brexit will undoubtedly cause staffing shortages in #Scotland, particularly in the #retail, #hospitality and #agriculture sectors. My article looks at what businesses can do to prepare and to encourage EU workers to stay: https://t.co/MTYwjD9XEo

Some good news for small #retailers. Britain’s finance ministry said that starting from next year, almost half a million small retailers would get a cut of a third to their property #taxes, known as #businessrates. It should help them compete with #online retailers. #SMEs

Almost half a million small retailers will have their #business rates cut by a third for at least a year as part of government efforts to reinvigorate high streets. https://t.co/6ybO3mXlIB #retailproblems #RetailFuture2018 #SMEs #tax
