LONDON RALLY, March 4
Why the spotlight is on Asda
Whilst many retailers have made sympathetic noises about increasing prices,
the American giant Wal-Mart has insisted it will continue to put pressure on
suppliers.
This policy, driven from the United States, hangs over the industry like the
grim reaper. For as long as Asda maintains this aggressive stance it is
difficult for other retailers to translate their support into positive
action.
It is for this reason that we will be giving Asda some special attention
both at the rally and subsequently. Some special placards will be available.
