There were plenty of upbeat newsagents and newsagent suppliers on the floor of the GNS Market Fair in Melbourne yesterday.
While this is a trade show for suppliers offering products through GNS first and foremost, there was an excellent mix of other suppliers there adding value to those visiting.
There was some discussion about the T2020 changes but most newsagents I spoke with were focused on retail opportunities for their businesses. This opened some excellent business planning and development discussions.
Alex Stewart, the CEO of GNS, presented an open and accessible face for the business … talking about excellent business opportunities for newsagents.
