Wadsworth Talks About Implications of Bribery Act With Retail Gazette

Melanie Wadsworth told the Retail Gazette that the potential of the Chinese market for UK retailers is too enticing to ignore.

"A hugely growing Chinese middle-class is looking for big brands, with a particular cache surrounding UK and US brands, and increasingly knowledgeable consumers do not want cheap knock-offs," Wadsworth explained.

However, incoming legal issues could prove troublesome for international expansionists, with the new Bribery Act likely to prove somewhat of an obstacle for many UK companies trying to do business in emerging economies.
