Created by William Reed brands Conveniencestore.co.uk, Lumina Intelligence and The Grocer – the podcast focuses on specific trends impacting the sector, sharing the latest data, news and insight to give retailers, suppliers and wholesalers the information needed to support business critical decisions, say the publishers.

Each episode is hosted by market experts – Blonnie Whist, Head of Insight at Lumina Intelligence, Aidan Fortune, Editor at Conveniencestore.co.uk and Ronan Hegarty, News Editor at The Grocer.

For the first episode, they focus on the legacies of 2020, including the suburban migration, online revolution and the recessionary revival. They answer questions, such as how will each of these trends shape UK convenience retail in 2021? What will the impact be on shopper behaviour? And what are the opportunities for retailers? They also briefly reflect on the news of Bestway acquiring Costcutter and the repercussions for the industry.

The podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms, as well as directly through the brand websites.
