The Food, Drink and Agricultural Group (FDA) of The Chartered Institute of Marketing hosted a debate at New Zealand House in London. Keynote speaker James Lowman, the Chief Executive of the Association of Convenience Stores, told delegates that the convenience sector is growing faster than the rest of the more conventional retail sector in the UK. The fact that the convenience sector had made huge improvements in the standard of product presentation and display as well as quality in recent years. It had also been able to take advantage of the increasing number of single person households, which he said will increase from the present 6 million to over 11 million over the next 10-15 years.
