It was a pleasure to join RTÉ Radio 1's Drivetime yesterday to discuss the world of supermarket retail and some of the factors that influence store design and merchandising 📻🎙
➡️COMMENT 'RADIO' and I'll send you the link.
We touched on everything from store layouts and seasonal merchandising to product placement, customer flow and why some categories are positioned where they are.
As anyone working in retail knows, these decisions are rarely made for one reason alone. They reflect a combination of customer needs, commercial priorities, operational requirements and seasonal trading.
Thank you to the Katie Hannon and Colm Ó Mongáin for having me! Listen via link in bio, or COMMENT 'RADIO' and I'll send you the link.

Want to know what retailers are really talking about behind the scenes? That’s what we unpack on The Retail Tea Break Podcast .
Behind every headline about “the future of retail” are real people dealing with real challenges, from leading teams and driving sales to adapting to constant change. Those are the conversations that don’t always make it onto a stage or into a report… but they do happen every day inside businesses.
On The Retail Tea Break, we bring those conversations out into the open:
✅Honest stories.
✅ Practical insight.
✅ And lessons you can actually take back to your own role, whether you’re on the shop floor, in head office, or leading a business.
If you enjoy learning from people who’ve been there and done it, you’ll feel right at home.
🎧 Listen in and see what retail is really talking about:
