In November 2015, Interbrand, the world's leading brand consultancy, participated in Retail Week's International Expansion event. Christian Purser, CEO, Interbrand London, talked about the global retail marketplace. Your competitors might not be who you think they are. With Central Group (Thailand) buying a majority stake in three German department stores and Hudson Bay (Canada) buying Galeria Kaufhof, it is clear that new entrants into Europe will bring additional competition in Europe and here in the UK.
