Retail has textbooks. It rarely has truth.
So we started Founders on the Floor, a new series from Retail Street Journal where the people who actually built retail tell the real story. No press releases. No rehearsed answers.
Our first guest sets the bar high. Nigel Rex Bird has spent 48 years in retail and wholesale across England, South Africa, India, Singapore and Thailand. Store Manager to Chief Operating Officer. Fresh, Hypermarkets, Merchandising, Distribution. He has held nearly every job the industry has.
The prelude is live now. The full conversation follows soon.
