When asked 'does the combined impact of rising retail crime, employment costs, goods and services costs, energy costs and the proposed Tobacco and Vapes Bill make it harder for your business to survive?, a staggering 96 per cent answered 'yes'
A further shocking statistic revealed that 66 per cent of members who replied have noticed an increase in the level of retail crime incidents - including shop thefts, violence and abuse - in their stores since January 2025.
