Issues and trends within the industry

Multichannel
In this point of view, we consider the evolution of the retail sector through the emergence of the connected consumers. We discuss the importance of truly integrated multichannel retail capabilities in serving this new consumer and the opportunities it represents in a low growth environment.

Cash and Liquidity
Liquidity is the biggest problem facing many consumer businesses today. Banks are reluctant to provide new lending or even renew existing facilities. As the economy has slowed, more and more businesses are challenged in servicing their debts and ensuring adequacy of working capital.

The Changing Consumer
With consumers’ disposable income squeezed by the reduced availability of cheap credit, and their desire to spend impacted by falling confidence, it is not surprising that shopping habits are changing.

M&A Advisory
Whether you are considering a disposal or acquisition, our team will support you with financial advice from the beginning of the transaction through to its completion. Our team will use their industry experience and transactional expertise to guide you through the transaction process, often working with our specialist teams or bringing in experts from our other business divisions such as tax and audit to ensure you have a successful outcome.
