The Grapevine is a leading news collation service for all recent moves or promotions in the licensing industry (we only use previously published material). Our ‘Employee of the Month’ allows companies to nominate a member of staff who has shown excellent commitment in the last year. Anyone from the Cleaner to the CEO can be nominated if they have genuinely helped the licensing process in your organisation.
The need to consistently contemporise the practice of attracting and retaining key senior level personnel, where there is an extremely high level of expectation from both employer and employee, has never been more critical.

A tough Retail Climate
For the last few years we have experienced a very tough retail climate with consumers being cautious with their spending and retailers being cautious with their listings and stock levels. This is a challenging time but we should all remain positive and start talking the market up and focus on the positives which will surely benefit us all.
