Show Notes

Welcome to our first episode of our Talking Shop with Retail Directions, our new podcast series, where we bring you inspiring stories and insights from the ever-changing world of retail.

In this episode, we have a very special guest with us, Steve Pearson, Head of Supply Chain and Logistics for one of South Africa's largest retailers, Retailability.

Retailability's acquisition of Edgars hit the headlines in 2002. But after moving into larger warehouse facilities to support its combined supply chain requirements, Retailability faced a devastating disaster.

Join us to find out how Retailability did not let this setback defeat them, and how their people came together and worked tirelessly to get their supply chain back up and running. Their story of resilience and determination in the face of adversity is truly inspiring.

Steve also shares valuable insights into the broader world of supply chain management and offers some key takeaways that any retail professional will want to hear.

So, whether you're a business leader looking to learn from others' experiences, or simply someone who loves a good comeback story, this episode is not to be missed.
