The UK’s Travel Retail Consortium is looking forward to 2012 with a new modern logo and website. The website launched this month (January) and aims to give an overall guide to the TRC and its objectives as well as including details of members, photographic reviews of events held and press coverage. The url is www.travelretailconsortium.co.uk, but the site can also be accessed via www.travelretailconsortium.com.
Originally conceived in the late 1960s and formalised in 1971 to further the interests and development of the Travel Retail industry within the UK through the member companies, the TRC currently has 15 members covering wine, spirit and beer; fragrances & cosmetics; fashion and accessories; tobacco; food and confectionery; and gifts.
Its objectives are to raise standards of business within the Travel Retail industry; promote members products and services; discuss industry issues; and provide social and networking opportunities for key travel retail customers at annual events. The TRC is also active in raising funds for charities such as The Royal Marsden Hospital and the Smile Train.
Meetings are held bi-monthly at members’ or customer company locations covering industry issues, new operators/services, business opportunities etc .
‘We hope that suppliers who are considering joining the TRC will find the website a useful guide to the Consortium - who we are and what we do,’ says Rebecca Harwood Lincoln, PR and Communications Officer for the Travel Retail Consortium. ‘Having just celebrated our 40th Anniversary, we also felt that this was the perfect time to upgrade the TRC’s logo and bring it into the 21st Century!’
