Retail Upskilling in Uncertain Times: A Turnkey Blueprint for Career Growth

Times are tough for Retail and Consumer Goods

Consumers are pulling back on spending, supply chain volatility makes you want to tear your hair out, and qualified employees seem to come and go in the blink of an eye. 

You need team members who:

  • Understand inventory management, buying & merchandising, and store operations to help navigate a stormy economy. 
  • Are well trained and in the wings, ready to move into a new role the moment employee churn demands it. 
  • Want to make retailing a career, not just a job. 

And you need to make that happen without spilling anything else off your learning and development plate.

Hi! I'm Brian Hume, Martec International's Managing Director.

Thirty-eight years ago, I had a vision: 

To share my wealth of retail expertise by consulting with Retailers, Consumer Goods Manufacturers, and businesses that provide services to them. 

To use my Operational Research and Statistics degree and my extensive logistics and supply chain management experience to elevate the industry I love. 

My vision came to life in July 1987 with the launch of Martec. 

What began in the United Kingdom has grown into a global learning community. Since its start, Martec has served leading retailers and suppliers in 38 countries, with students engaged in our training across 58 countries on six continents.

In 2019, to meet the needs of even more businesses, we narrowed our focus to exclusively provide state-of-the-industry, affordable, on-demand Retail and Consumer Goods training. 

And now we’re pleased to bring you our game-changing Retail Upskilling Blueprint!
