Independent Retailers Confederation

The Independent Retailers Confederation (IRC) is a well-established organisation, bringing together like-minded trade associations with interests in the small and independent retail sector.

The IRC represents c.100,000 independent retailers throughout the UK, creating a growing retail network, committed to the development and sharing of best practice among associations and their members engaged in the independent retail sector.

 

The IRC provides a lobbying platform for a variety of trade associations with shared interests, increasing the profile and voice of independent retailing within Government and Parliament.

The IRC also provides the secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Small Shops Group administered by The Association of Convenience Stores.

Any organisation interested in supporting the development of the independent retail sector in the UK is welcome to join The Independent Retailers Confederation. Participation within the IRC is free and members meet virtually every month.
 

IRC Officers

Meeting Chair - John Halliday (Bira)
Political Enquiries (APPSSG & WCPCSS) - Ed Woodall (Association of Convenience Stores)
 
If you would like to join or believe that you can assist the Independent Retailers Confederation in furthering our objectives please contact us.
