The May Fair Hotel, London
British luxury brands have built businesses on their creative leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, their investment in international markets and an innate ability to create desire, but what does the future hold for the sector as we enter a new decade? How can we fully capitalise on the opportunities on the horizon, develop new strategies, embrace customer trends and how do we continue to lead, innovate and create sustainable growth?
