From the Editor
Welcome to the autumn / winter edition of Alert. Since the last time we published, we have a new government in charge of the UK – I can’t say much has changed for me on a personal level following the Labour win, and from speaking to several retailers and brands, I think it’s business as usual for them too – pretty tough. On a more positive note, in this edition we have an exclusive interview with Beko Europe’s head honcho in the UK and Ireland, Teresa Arbuckle, who is upbeat about the Beko and Whirlpool merger, and is confident that the industry will soon pick up after a tough time post-Covid. We also have some expert marketing advice on how to make the most of Black Friday and peak season. And, with that in mind, all the best for this crucial trading period, have a great and prosperous Christmas, and I’ll see you on the other side in 2025. Sean Hannam
