Training expert Paul Laville, group chief executive of T21, is the latest speaker to be added to the line-up of this year’s ERT Turning Point Live! event.
He will be taking part in a panel discussion with retailer Paul Noble, owner of the Spiritland Headphone Bar in London’s Mayfair. The theme of the session will be experiential retail and how to hold successful customer events.
Mr Laville (pictured) is a regular contributor to ERT, writing opinion pieces and analysis articles on how to train staff, improve sales techniques and create better retail experiences in-store and online. His company, T21, is a finalist in this year’s ERT Training Award category.

The keynote speaker will be retail guru Matthew Hopkinson – co-author of the latest high-profile Grimsey Review of the high street. His speech will focus on the future of shops and town centres in the UK and how the consumer and society is changing.
