Course Summary
Professional retailers in any industry must ensure that their
approach to the market is not only based on satisfying customers, crucial

resources - especially capital funds and property portfolios. Network planning
is a key to this, but what should follow that is also essential - professional
asset management. This two day event focusses on both of these issues to help
