Guy Nappa
“The Retail Community has been a great initiative for the industry bringing together different businesses with similar issues to just chat, workshop and help each other out. Dean and Jethro, both great industry leaders, have created a strong community that has organically grown due to the impact it is having on its members. I highly recommend joining and actively participating.”

“Retail moves fast, and trying to do it all on your own is tough. That's why I love to stay connected in the Retail Community WhatsApp Groups, local area meet-ups and events. These memorable catch-ups bring the right people together, cut through the noise, and make retail feel fun and collaborative again.”

“I was referred to this community by someone in my my network and I’m incredibly grateful for the support, intel and value I have received so far. It’s a great network of talent often sharing relevant events, news, opportunities and ideas which help us all to collaborate rather than work in isolation or in competition with each other. I nearly accepted an opportunity through here. It’s a great culture and a great way to stay informed and connected in the retail community. Thank you Dean and team.”

Punit Kanwar
“We are all often juggling the same challenges as people in other businesses but rarely get the chance to compare notes. Retail Community creates that opportunity. I value the different perspectives to the same problems, share experiences and connect with people who understand the day-to-day realities of retail. It’s a useful community to be part of.”
