Skelton has been serving as a non-executive member director of the board since November 2021.


Commenting on the decision, he said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my role as a non-executive member director of Unitas Wholesale; however, it is now time for me to focus my time and attention on the S&W business – we have some extensive development and growth plans during the next 12-18 months, following our move to an EOT model operating for the benefit of the employees. This will be the major focus for my time as we implement our strategy to grow and expand the business, working collaboratively with our customers and suppliers to ensure successful trading for decades to come.

Footfall woes follow retail into the new year – Bira

The British Independent Retailers Association (Bira) has warned that disappointing footfall figures for December show mounting pressures on independent retailers, with concerning implications for 2025 as business costs continue to rise.

The latest BRC-Sensormatic IQ Footfall Monitor report revealed decreases across most retail locations:

  • Total UK retail footfall decreased by 2.2% (YoY)
  • High Street footfall decreased by 2.7% (YoY)
  • Shopping Centre footfall decreased by 3.3% (YoY)
  • Retail Park footfall remained flat at 0.0% (YoY)

"These figures paint a worrying picture of the challenges facing independent retailers," said Andrew Goodacre, CEO of Bira, which works with over 6,000 independent retailers of all sizes across the UK. "The decline in footfall during the crucial Christmas trading period is particularly concerning, as this is typically when retailers need to generate the revenue that will see them through the quieter months ahead."
