About Retail Knowledge Bank

Retail Knowledge Bank was established in 2000 to provide strategic business intelligence and analysis to the retail industry and its suppliers, in association with Emap Retail, publishers of Retail Week and Drapers.

Retailing in the UK is a highly consolidated but complex and sophisticated market place, 85% of retail sales going through just 500 companies. To be successful in an increasingly competitive environment it is imperative to understand the dynamics of the market and its key individual players.

Retail Knowledge Bank has a range of tools that provide retailers and their suppliers with business critical information. Our core product is The UK’s Top 500 Retailers, a unique, highly regarded and indispensable information tool available on-line on annual subscription. Its strategic company profiles enable subscribers to improve their market knowledge and understanding of individual retailers; have access to unmatched competitive intelligence about and analysis of those retailers; research and plan marketing and sales initiatives; prioritise targets and facilitate making direct contact.

Robert has specialised in analysing retail markets since the 1960s and Wendy since the 1980s. Together they lead RKB’s product development and are responsible for the content of The UK’s Top 500 Retailers strategic profiles. Robert makes frequent appearances in the media and he can be available to work with clients on a one-to-one basis. (See Market Research and Consultancy).
