Individuality – Why Independent Shops Need It

Jack Pilcher Product individuality, products, Radford Accessories, small business, Steve Radford

We spoke to Steve Radford of Radford Accessories on how he helps small businesses with their stock and product with fair prices. First and foremost, he notices that you can see the same kind of shops everywhere you go in the world, and that is just boring. The answer? Individuality!

He strongly believes in creating a high street full of individuality, unique shops and a personal touch.

In the 90’s everything was fine, there was a structure. There was independent and wholesaler, and everything worked. With the internet, the price increase, the rent increase it all got more difficult. All things considered, independent retailers needs to find how to do good business again.\\
