520 8 _aWhen businessman John Timpson started his retailing career in 1960, there were no supermarkets, no out-of-town shopping centres and not even a hint of internet shopping. The British high street was full of made-to-measure tailors and traditional grocers. In this book, Timpson shows how successive generations of forward-thinking shopkeepers and inspirational entrepreneurs have led the major retailers through a period of rapid change - people such as Ken Morrison, Ralph Halpern and Anita Roddick, without whom our high streets would have looked very different.
