Exclusive Brand Access. Meaningful Connections. Commercial Impact.
As part of our commitment to delivering value to our Members, we're bringing them together for two days of collaborative workshops, brand presentations and product showcases in the heart of London’s retail scene.
The AIS Member Exclusive London Retail Trail has been created to connect Members with leading brand teams and unlock a unique commercial edge, through stockist opportunities and strategy insight, demonstrating how the benefits of AIS Membership extend beyond the in-store environment.
Over two days, Members will enjoy showroom visits, curated brand workshops, industry networking and seasonal retail inspiration from our capital city, all explored through the lens of current retail and consumer patterns.
“As we celebrate 50 years of independent retail, it feels particularly important to create experiences that give back to our Members. Long-standing relationships are the foundation of AIS and we are proud to celebrate these with a programme that is inspiring, useful and relevant to our Members’ businesses.
The bringing together of commercial advantage and connection to our Membership is a great reminder of what continues to make our community and independent retail thrive and we are proud to celebrate this as we mark 50 years.”
- James Crabtree, Head of Fashion
We have partnered with three of our key suppliers, BESTSELLER, Hunter and Rodd & Gunn to create an event that supports our Members with opportunities that can positively impact their business. These tailored partnerships focus on our Members’ core business needs, offering customer appeal, competitive pricing and unwavering quality. The event is both commercially beneficial and celebratory, recognising the strength of our community while marking AIS’ 50th anniversary milestone.
The experience reflects AIS’s commitment to nurturing independent retail through expertise and meaningful connections. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we are proud to invest in our Members through unique experiences that provide preferential benefits to help strengthen their business.
