Senior Partner, Retail Knowledge Bank
Robert Clark is a leading retail analyst and consultant. An Oxford graduate, he has specialised in UK and European retail markets since the 1970s. A 20-year veteran of The Economist Intelligence Unit’s consultancy, he and colleagues then formed a highly regarded retail research publishing and consultancy business. Later they teamed with EMAP, publisher of Retail Week, to create Retail Knowledge Bank, incorporating a unique, on-line retailer profile service providing detailed insight into and performance analysis of the UK’s Top 500 retailers that account for 85% of all UK retail sales. Robert also broadcasts and lectures regularly on retailing developments and issues.
In 2011 leaders in the retail sector will be looking for the re-emergence of growth. The Retail Week conference will be a bellweather event for those who really want to understand the mood of the market.
