The UK's leading retail visual merchandising and brand delivery
consultancy, Visual Thinking, has relocated to Warwickshire.
The business, which was established in 1992 and advises the
likes of M&S, Sainsbury's and Matalan, has chosen Central Park
in Rugby for the location of its new client service centre.
Owned by renowned retail consultant, TV pundit and 'shopping
psychologist' Karl McKeever, Visual Thinking specialises in helping
brands to improve their retail environments and store teams to
create better shopping experiences for customers that increase
sales performance.
Despite the tough retail climate of the past few years, there
has been a strong demand for Visual Thinking's services, with the
company seeing a growth in its consultancy activity around the
world.
Visual Thinking, which works with blue chip retailers both in
the UK and internationally, selected Rugby for its central location
and convenient access to the M1, Birmingham Airport and good rail
links.
"There is a misconception that all leading consultancies are
based in London," explains Visual Thinking brand director Karl
McKeever.
"As we work with major retailers' teams across the country and
globally, we need to be centrally based with good transport links
to service them well.
"Having a major shopping destination like Birmingham on our
doorstep will also be useful for keeping up with UK shopping
trends, whilst our new central location makes travel in the UK and
the rest of the world even more accessible.
Visual Thinking was formerly based in Leicestershire.
