A new national retail skills competition will be launched by Skillsmart Retail in the New Year.
The competition will see visual merchandising teams from across the UK competing in a national contest.
The live final will take place at the In-Store show at London’s Earls Court in May 2008.
Beverly Paddey of Skillsmart Retail said: “This visual merchandising competition will allow us to show off the theatre of the retail industry. The retail industry is often considered dull and boring but this competition will allow retailers to showcase their creative talent.
“Currently there is no live skills competition in the UK retail sector, and this will be an opportunity for individuals to display their professionalism.”
The competition is sponsored by Tesco and Asda, among others.
