A big hat tip to Keir Williams (Wrotham School) for highlighting the excellent new series featuring retail guru Mary Portas. In her new programme, Mary attempts to bring the charity shop sector kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Some superb materals in each episode on retailing skills, and plenty of stimulus material on management styles and motivation too:

The series is available to download using BBC iPlayer
