Retail Therapy

Jumping at opportunities


Listen Later

Joining us for some Retail Therapy this week in the Amex Lounge is Richard Murray, the chief executive of JB Hi-Fi – one of the biggest retail businesses in Australia – and one that has done incredibly well throughout the pandemic as people stocked up on products for their homes – new TVs, entertainment systems and the like. 

Richard has been the CEO of JB Hi-Fi since 2014 and in April this year announced that he would be leaving to join Premier Investments – which includes the brands of Just Jeans, Portmans and Peter Alexander. 

In this episode of Retail Therapy Paul and Richard discuss: 

  • Richard’s move to Premier Investments from JB Hi-Fi 
  • His love and passion for retail  
  • Diversity and representation  
  • How small business is the engine room of the economy  
  • What you learn from your first job in retail  
  • A day in the life of Richard Murray  
  • Jumping at opportunities  
  • Being proud to be a retailer  
  • Designing digital retail spaces
