ACS chief executive James Lowman: “Summit is a highlight in the convenience calendar and is the chance for retailers, suppliers and industry experts to come together to explore what’s happening in our sector and to look into the future at the opportunities and challenges that we might face.
“Now more than ever, wellbeing and what it means to be ‘well’ has become a priority both in terms of our personal and working lives. At this year’s conference, we have dedicated a space to wellbeing and we have been encouraging retailers to take a proactive approach to workplace wellbeing so that they can understand themselves and support their colleagues better.”
