Budget Campaign

The Autumn Budget has introduced a wave of changes with significant implications for the retail industry, our communities, and the wider economy. As the UK’s largest private-sector employer, retail plays a critical role in sustaining over 5.7 million jobs and contributing more than £100 billion annually to GDP.

However, the cumulative burden of rising costs threatens not only our ability to keep prices low for customers but also will impact jobs, investment and communities across the country.

Through our campaign, we aim to highlight the key challenges faced by retailers in the wake of the Budget, explain their economic consequences, and propose practical solutions to mitigate their impact.
