LISTEN: More than 2,000 delegates, 750 of which are occupiers, are attending the Completely Retail show in London’s Billingsgate Market, as the event’s organisers announce that the event will expand to mainland Europe in 2016.
Dom Millar, managing director of Completely Retail Group, said he was looking to Germany, Amsterdam and Spain. “That’s the initial feedback we have had. I would be disappointed if we didn’t do one show there by the end of next year,” he said.
The bi-annual Completely Retail event has grown significantly since its first show at Spitalfields Market in 2012 when it had 40 exhibitors. Today it has 100.
With BCSC undergoing a strategic review of its organisation, Millar says the secret to Completely Retail’s success is limiting who can attend. “We only cater for the leasing community, whereas BCSC had a wider remit.”
