New plan for a more resilient retail sector puts people and town centres first

Building a more resilient retail sector that delivers for communities, business and workers is at the heart of a new retail sector action plan being launched today by the Welsh Government and the Wales Retail Forum.

Together for retail: a Wales Retail Forum action plan sets out actions, shared by all social partners, that will also ensure the sector offers fair, secure and rewarding work.

The retail sector is one of the largest private sector employers in Wales, providing jobs to 139,000 people (2021) and with a reach into communities across Wales.

It is a diverse sector that is instrumental in providing employment opportunities and services which are critical to the vitality of Wales’ town centres and rural communities.

The plan sets out common ground where the sector can come together to improve its prospects, as well as the prospects of those who work within it.
