The Retail Institute is an academic unit based at Leeds Beckett University that serves the FMCG supply chain through delivering a membership scheme and applied research specialising in consumer behaviour and retail insights. It has a team of global packaging experts on hand to offer strategic support and advice.
‘There are many benefits of being a member of the Retail Institute,’ said business development manager, enterprise services, Brett Kelly. ‘These include access to a host of reliable knowledge through the services we provide, such as our networking events, reports, research publications and webinars. Our overall aim is to support our members’ R&D by removing the risk associated with innovation and growth.’
He concluded, ‘The membership scheme offers a cost-effective tool that will support your information needs and provide the evidence for robust decision-making to enable market development and innovation in product, pack and services.’
The offer is open until 31 December 2017. For more details of how to join, please contact Brett Kelly at b.d.kelly@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.
