A top boss at Nisa Retail has extended support to convenience store owners following the shocking reports that several corner shops were ransacked by rioters over the weekend in different parts of the country.
Retail and Sales Director, Katie Secretan today (5) called on retailers to reach out to their respective account managers if they are affected in the protests.
Secretan wrote in an open letter, "I wanted to send a personal message to all our Nisa partners and retailers following the shocking scenes of violence and racism over the weekend. I hope that you and your families remain safe, and that we will see an end to this violence.
"We stand clear and strong together, we do not tolerate any levels of racism within our business or our communities, and we remain committed in our support to you against any levels of violence you may encounter directly in your retail stores or within your communities.
Should you have been affected by any of the disgraceful acts we have seen across the country, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly or to your RDM / Account Manager so that we can support you in these difficult times.
"In addition, I know many of you have asked if you can use your store’s MADL funds to support a community response in areas affected by the rioting. The MADL team are here to help, please direct your enquiry to makingadifference@nisaretail.com where the team can help make this happen.
"Finally, you may have seen that the ACS has issued advice for any affected stores through Grocery Aid who are prepared to take your calls related to these incidents. I also draw your attention to the Riot Compensation Act’s provisions for claiming compensation if impacted by a riot. "
