Why “Mr Retail”?

When Bryan started Retail Rescue (now sold), he was on a mission to build his own brand, as much as that of any business he consulted to, so he spoke at major events around Australia and wrote articles for industry blogs. As a result, he soon became recognised as one of Australia’s top retail consultants.

Bryan’s clients and peers then labelled him “Mr. Retail”, which quickly became his nickname and was often used as a promotional tool for the lead-up to further seminars he presented.

Bryan has met some awesome people along the way and co-presented with many of them. Here are just a few.
