From the street to the screen: the demise of our high streets

In recent weeks, we have seen further retreats from trading on the UK high streets from some longstanding retailers; a possible result of the national COVID restrictions. This has left shop owners across the country wondering if normality will ensue when restrictions ease, or whether shopping culture has changed to the point of no return for the high street. 

Has the world changed forever?

In 2020, the year of the Coronavirus, the world saw a monumental shift in our global lifestyle, and despite the huge vaccination roll-out commencing, the effects of the pandemic on our economy and society will persist throughout 2021. As a result of the societal changes caused by the pandemic, businesses have had to adapt rapidly to mirror the emergence and evolution of new cultures.
