Retail resolutions for 2017: Jacqueline Gold, Ann Summers

I’m sure I won’t be alone in saying that Brexit is of course the biggest challenge we have ahead. It is for us all, as no business likes uncertainty and right now none of us knows what that will look like and how that will impact our business.

We have already experienced challenges because of the fluctuating pound, and this of course impacts how we manage our stock, which as a mid-sized business will always provide challenges as we try to grow.   

While Brexit is of course a challenge, we do also see it as offering us opportunity, and my key resolution is to look at how we navigate this new international space and take the brand even further internationally, despite the challenges of Brexit.
