EPE congratulates BHF-BSSA Group becoming BIRA, the British Independent Retailers Association – 11/05/2011

The new identity was adopted at the association’s annual general meeting at Lingfield on May 4th. The previous name was adopted in the 2009 merger of the century-old BHF Group and the British Shops and Stores Association (bssa). It was always intended that once the merger had been consolidated, the final act would be to give it a new and clearer identity.

“BIRA heralds an important new force in the world of independents” said BIRA CEO Alan Hawkins, announcing the change. EPE is pleased to see the advancement of a key industry figure, this important transition shows the rapid progression of a market on a continual rise. EPE has made remarkable headway with growth & turnover alike over the course of our history, and would like to thank BHF-BSSA / BIRA for their encouragement & support over the years, we are pleased to offer our congratulations.
