Once you join SPAR, you'll be invited to events designed to give you new ideas for your business, to help you explore issues and problems, and to allow you to socialise with other retailers.

We also have a full calendar of events dedicated to discussing and agreeing major decisions. Our members elect retailers in six areas around the UK to represent the interests of all of our stores in major decisions concerning company strategy, our national marketing programme and future developments. Regular meetings and events ensure that we receive your opinions on key issues and that we can respond. Your feedback counts and is a major factor in our success.

SPAR also runs roadshows, trade shows and local, national and international conventions – all designed to keep you up to speed with the latest industry developments.
