Mary Queen of Shops wants YOU!

There now follows a message to local, independent bakers from those Optomen people what make telly programmes...

Due to the huge success of earlier series, we are now making a 3rd series of BBC2’s ‘Mary Queen of Shops’ and offering a unique opportunity to an independent business like your own. Britain’s leading retail guru, Mary Portas turned Harvey Nichols into a modern powerhouse and she has a phenomenal talent for unlocking the potential of retail businesses – both large and small.

In this series we are championing the British high street and looking to help the shops that we hold very close to our hearts.

We are looking for independent bakeries that feel they may be getting ‘left behind’ and may be not doing as well as owners would like

• Are you finding it hard to make the money you would like to?


• Are you unsure about what to do to increase your takings?


• Maybe you have tried some changes that haven’t worked as well as you’d hoped?


• Would you like some help from Britain’s leading retail expert?
  

It is extremely difficult running a small business and with the current economic climate as an additional factor, it is no wonder that up to 100 shops a day are closing in Britain. But, through expert advice, sharing the tricks of the trade, and devising a solution specific to your store, we can try to get your bakery on the road to success. It’s a very special, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Please contact us to find out more. We would love to hear from you.

Please call Tom or Nikki on 020 7967 1285 or email queenofshops@optomen.com

And if you do get involved, please let realbread@sustainweb.org know, too.
