Stuart Reddish, national president of the NFRN, writes: Our marketplace has always been highly competitive and challenging, but surely never more so than today. However, for more than 101 years, the NFRN has been there to support and protect independent retailers, and being a member gives independent retailers access to a wealth of benefits, deals, practical support, assistance and encouragement that can really make a difference to your bottom line, helping you run better, more profitable businesses.
In fact, taking advantage of each and every one of our benefits can deliver impressive savings of nearly £4,000 a year.
Already a member? Then make sure you support our initiatives and campaigns, take advantage of exciting deals, and use all the advice and support available to improve and develop your business. If not, then I would seriously urge you to consider joining. Certainly, our current voucher promotion with Booker makes membership of the NFRN a compelling proposition.
With lockdown restrictions lifting, hopefully our lives and businesses will return to some form of normality, but, whatever happens, the NFRN will always be there for independent retailers.
