Welcome to another episode of Retail Reckoning! I'm Clare Bailey and this week, I'm joined by the dynamic Kim Hulse, a true leader in placemaking and retail strategy.

Having spent years revitalising high streets and supporting local businesses, Kim shares her journey from corporate retail to transforming communities, like Knowle, across the UK through destination marketing, collaborative events, and hands-on partnerships.

Together, we're outlining practical strategies that bring vibrancy back to our towns, from creating engaging events and consistent branding to tackling vacancy rates and fostering pride of place.

Whether you're a retailer, community leader, or just passionate about your local area, this episode is packed with ideas and inspiration to help your high street not just survive, but thrive. Let's get into it!
