Trading companies suffer from falling customer demand
A recent trend survey conducted by the German Trade Association (HDE) among around 700 trading companies shows that, due
to the increasing spread of the coronavirus, many medium-sized trading companies in particular are suffering from falling customer
frequencies and declining demand.
In the HDE survey, nearly two-thirds of companies currently report declining customer demand due to the coronavirus. As a result,
the retail sector has been hit by massive falls in demand. The exception is the suppliers of everyday goods, such as grocers and
drugstores, which are seeing an increased demand for individual products. According to the traders, the negative effects will increase
significantly.
For example, three-quarters of the companies surveyed expect customer demand to decline in the coming weeks, almost half of which
will see significant declines. On the other hand, the demand-enhancing effects in the food sector are likely to subside. With the
exception of trade in everyday goods, retailers are mainly talking about declining customer frequencies. Slightly more than
half of the respondents even feel a significant decline in customer numbers.

Exertis to celebrate
International Women’s Day
Exertis has announced its participation in International Women’s
Day (IWD) on 8th March as part of its wider commitment to
fostering an inclusive and diverse culture across the business. It
will celebrate IWD with a number of planned events including
networking sessions and panel discussions on the topic of diversity
and inclusion.
Overall Exertis UK has 40 per cent of women in its workforce and
almost 33 per cent employed in its logistic centres. Exertis will be
running a networking and panel discussion on IWD to celebrate
and create awareness of how inclusion, talent, and diversity can
bring both personal and organisational success.
Liz Greenwood, Exertis UK, IT director said, “technology is a
profession where you will never get bored and you can see how it
can reshape business and society. It is fascinating. More senior
executives need to actively sponsor programmes in schools
with teachers and pupils. Maths and Science are not the only
paths to IT – Business Analysis, Service Desk Management, and
other disciplines require different skills.”
Lisa Bird, Exertis, Head of Customer Excellence added, “IWD is
an opportunity to recognise women’s achievements from all walks
of life. It’s important everyone has an equal chance to make the
most of their talent and capabilities. I want to be judged on my
output and not my gender.”
