British Retail Consortium acquires OSS Retail
The British Retail Consortium has acquired OSS Retail, previously known as the Oxford Summer School, from the British Independent Retailers Association.
The move is part of the BRC’s Better Jobs campaign that aims to re-position retail as a career of choice.
Helen Dickinson BRC chief executive, said: “This is an exciting time for the industry as it responds to the changing retail landscape. With technology changing the way consumers shop, it is essential we invest in the people who will facilitate the future successes of the industry.
“Recently, our BRC Learning division has launched two new apprenticeships into the market and launched Rethink Retail, our new careers guidance website. Working with OSS Retail will allow us to further build on our careers and development offering, for the benefit of our members and the wider industry.”
