S3E8: 30UnderThirty winner Lewis Woodward joins us

Better Retailing Podcast: Season 3, Episode 8 *"Wanting to learn more and improve is a natural human instinct, I think"* For this episode we're delighted to speak to Lewis Woodward, of Nisa Local Colleygate in Halesowen. At the age of 22, Lewis has been a winner of 30UnderThirty for three years already - and still has seven years of eligibility left. Lewis talks to us about his journey so far, the difficulties and successes of being a young leader of a store operation, and much more. It's a brilliant conversation with a brilliant young retailing talent, covering: - How to bring people on the journey with you, and the importance of it. - Learning to overcome the urge to tackle every shoplifter. - Learning how, in such a lonely business, to take the ups and the downs. - The importance of creating a buzz and energy in store – and how ensuring you don’t have empty bake-off racks can play its small part in that. - How his store are going to cope with an Asda opening over the road – how tapping into what they do well, working with their local community, and their ability to change quickly will all play a part in continuing to drive success. All this plus Natalie's step-by-step guide on how to smash online delivery retailing as a small store. Trust me, you wont want to miss this. \--------------------------------------------------------------------- To hear more about the Retail Family Online Safe Space, visit the Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/p/Retail-Family-Online-Safe-Space-61568103505510/ You can find out more and register to attend for the Better Retailing Festival and Awards here: https://www.betterretailing.com/br/event/better-retailing-festival-and-awards-2026/ \--------------------------------------------------------------------- To get in touch with us, ask a question of our retailer panel, or get involved with any of the conversations, please email betterretailing@newtrade.co.uk, or send us a message via Newtrade Insight on LinkedIn. * * * Hosted on Acast.
