Essential Retail’s editor, Ben Sillitoe, and deputy editor, Caroline Baldwin, introduce the re-vamped Essential Retail blog – a place where we can get our hands dirty with retail technology. Go to essentialretail.wordpress.com to read about our hands-on experiences with the likes of Sainsbury’s Chop Chop app, Nationwide online banking and Pokemon Go.
