August's issue: Seize the advantage

With summer typically seeing more subdued trade, it’s been especially important this year to seize every possible advantage. In August’s bumper issue, discover how a pair of suppliers have teamed up to offer Scottish retailers more buying options, and how SMEs might establish better collaboration across the supply chain.

If you’re in the market for a new supplier, where better to turn than our all-star line-up of Readers’ Choice Awards winners? This month, we reveal the businesses and individuals you voted best in class – a huge well done to all of them!

In our lead story we meet the marketing team at retail disruptor, Sofa Club. We’ve also interviews with DFI Beds’ Brian McCann and MattressNextDay, while cover star Simba outlines its new initiative to tackle child sleep poverty, and we recount our Manchester Furniture Show highlights.
