On this episode of Talking Shop, we are joined by Sammy Allanson, Client Partner Lead for the North of England at business change and transformation specialist Sullivan & Stanley. We break down why the North is one of the UK’s most critical retail growth engines - and why conquering it requires deep local credibility rather than superficial corporate visibility exercises. We look at Sullivan & Stanley's latest research to dissect the massive "value gap" in retail transformation, exploring how to tell if a project is creating genuine commercial value or just generating frantic internal activity.

We also discuss why nostalgia isn't enough to save struggling high-street staples, and the practical changes retail bosses need to make tomorrow morning to escape the constant cycle of operational firefighting.
