Retail's Best asks "Is overregulation and red tape undermining our confidence?"
Published on: Apr 29, 2025
Retail’s Best’s network of independent retailer-business leaders represents some of the UK’s most prominent roadside retail locations.
Says Moiz Vas, founder of Retail’s Best: “Ultimately, we take the risks, make the investments and drive the industry forward. But with tightening regulations - from HFSS restrictions and licensing laws to sustainability policies - we ask ourselves: are we still in control of our future?”
Retail’s Best will be playing its part to highlight these important issues on 15 May when some 250 forecourt operators and independent convenience store owners, representing over 3,500 sites between them, come together at Retail’s Best Roadside Retail Partners.
The theme for this year’s retailer-led panel discussion will be ‘Is Overregulation And Red Tape Undermining Our Confidence?’ This debate will explore the future of independent retail in an increasingly controlled environment - where do we go from here?”
The panellists for this year’s debate are:
- Steve Fox, Managing Director, Retail, Motor Fuel Group
- Goran Raven, Director, RJ Raven
- Vasavi Nanthakumar, Director, Tankerford
- Tony Jackson, Chief Commercial Officer, Penny Petroleum/Penny On The Move
Michael O’Loughlin, a respected figure in the industry with extensive retail experience, returns to host the panel discussion, which will undoubtedly lead to a lively debate.
