In this episode of Inside Retail, we're joined by Charlotte Broadbent from Faire to explore the data, trends and consumer behaviours shaping independent retail.

Drawing on Faire's visibility of millions of wholesale transactions, Charlotte shares what's selling, what's gaining momentum and what retailers should be paying attention to over the next 12 months.

We also explore the growing appetite for individuality and personality in retail, whether AI is changing the game for independent businesses, and why the human touch, community and in-store experience remain so important.

Plus, Charlotte joins us for Buy or Bye, where we put a £60 statement dinnerware set to the test.
