Mary Portas series seeks independent retailers

Mary Portas is once again seeking independent retailers for a brand new series for Channel 4. The programme makers would like to hear from retailers who are struggling to make their business a success and are looking for advice and guidance.   “After months of research for her government review on the state of our high street, Mary Portas is determined to do more to breathe life back into our local shopping areas,” explain the producers. “In her new series, Mary will work with small, independent shops to implement some of her ideas. Shop by shop, she wants to transform the high street into a centre for socialising and deliver the kind of service that will give locals a reason to go there.
