retra, the radio, electrical and television retailers’ association, has announced an impressive line-up of speakers for this year’s sell-out conference, which will be held at the ICC in Birmingham, on the 26th and 27th April.
This year will be the 50th annual retra conference, and as always, it promises to be an unmissable event for all those involved in electrical retail. The highlight of the electrical retail calendar, this is also the perfect opportunity for delegates to meet with retailers, manufacturers, suppliers and distributors from across the industry.

Current retra President Shaun Barrett, who will open the conference, says: “What a fantastic line-up we have for the retra conference this year! The fiftieth annual conference is a real milestone for retra, and I am sure that this year’s will be as successful as those in the past.
