In this Omni Talk Retail interview, recorded live from World Retail Congress 2026 in Berlin, Chris Walton speaks with Scott Price, Group Chief Executive of DFI Retail Group, about how one of Asia's largest retail groups is driving omnichannel growth, loyalty innovation, and AI transformation across its business. Scott explains how DFI has doubled online order volumes, increased ecommerce penetration, and sharpened its customer-first strategy by pushing decision-making closer to local markets across Asia. The conversation explores why operational execution still matters more than flashy technology, how loyalty data is becoming the foundation for personalization and retail media, and why “dynamic pricing” is the wrong way to think about customer offers. The interview also dives into DFI's evolving AI strategy, from team productivity tools and personalized shopping experiences to the future role of AI in merchandising and retail decision-making. Plus, Scott shares why retailers need to focus on the “right to win,” how portfolio simplification has helped fuel growth, and why resilience remains one of retail's most important competitive advantages. Key Topics Covered: • How DFI Retail Group doubled online order volumes • Why operational execution still defines omnichannel success • The importance of local decision-making across Asian markets • How DFI uses loyalty data to power personalization and retail media • Why Scott Price banned the term “dynamic pricing” • The future of AI-powered autonomous shopping experiences • How AI is improving employee productivity across the business • Why merchandising still requires human judgment despite AI advances • DFI's portfolio strategy and focus on “right to win” markets • How retailers can balance technology innovation with retail fundamentals Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from World Retail Congress 2026. #WRC2026 #WorldRetailCongress #OmniTalkRetail #DFIRetailGroup #RetailInnovation #AIinRetail #Omnichannel #RetailMedia #LoyaltyPrograms #FutureOfRetail
Britain is aiming to build 1.5 million new homes this Parliament, backed by nearly £39 billion in public investment. But a key question around the deadline and the amount of homes needed to be built is: are we building them well?In this episode of BE Sustainable, we explore the findings of the ‘Proud to call home' report, which calls for quality to be embedded across every stage of housing delivery — from policy and planning through to design, construction and long-term performance.Host Mike Speight is joined by Mike Reader MP, Chair of the APPGEBE - the All-Party Parliamentary Group that commissioned the report, alongside Mark Robinson, Group Chief Executive at SCAPE, and Ashley Wheaton, Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Built Environment.Together, they debate whether the UK can realistically deliver on its housing ambitions without compromising on standards. Drawing on insights from across government, industry and education, find out where the panel feels breakdowns occur, where accountability lies, and what can be done with the growing pressure on the construction sector. With just 8,620 apprentices qualifying in 2022/23, and industry bodies such as the Construction Industry Training Board highlighting the need for tens of thousands of new workers each year, the conversation turns to whether the sector has the capacity and the skills pipeline to deliver both volume and quality at scale.Links and resources‘Proud to call home' report – All-Party Parliamentary Group for Excellence in the Built EnvironmentMike Reader MPSCAPE GroupConstruction Industry Training Board

This week's episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast brings you coverage from CERAWeek, the annual weeklong energy conference that S&P Global hosts in Houston, Texas. Known as the "Davos of energy," the gathering convenes government and private sector leaders from across the energy ecosystem. At CERAWeek 2026, we heard how war in the Middle East is reshaping the way companies and countries manage the energy trilemma of energy security, energy affordability and energy sustainability. "It reminds us again that energy security requires diversity of sources and supply chains," Lord John Browne tells us in an interview on the sidelines of the conference. "It will remind us again that we have to think about the energy mix." Lord Browne was Group Chief Executive of oil and gas major British Petroleum (BP) from 1995 to 2007 and is now Chairman and Co-Founder of BeyondNetZero, the climate growth equity fund of investment firm General Atlantic. Climate remains on the agenda, he says, "but it has to be blended as always, with security and with affordability."

A Government commissioned review of the problems with farm profitability, carried out by Baroness Batters, is due to be delivered to DEFRA soon. It comes at a difficult moment for the arable sector in particular. One of the UK's biggest farming companies, Velcourt, has recently given notice to a fifth of the landowners it works with, that it will either leave or restructure contracts following negotiations. Velcourt's Group Chief Executive, Nick Shorter, tells Charlotte Smith that a painful period of adjustment will lie ahead as arable producers adapt to the harsh economic reality of life without subsidies. He says continuing to grow wheat and other crops at a loss will be unsustainable for individual farmers and for the wider industry, and there could be new business opportunities on unprofitable land. As the land is gradually being replenished by autumn rain we meet the scientists measuring soil moisture using cosmic ray neutron technology.And, continuing our look at tackling invasive species, how the distinctive buzz of the Asian Hornet could be key in tracking down its nests.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling
The budget 3 weeks ago increased the cost of fuel up to an average of €1.72 per litre of petrol and €1.68 for diesel. We've also learned that EV sales are starting to take off in Ireland. All these reasons mean that petrol forecourts are no longer places just for fuel. Mini supermarkets are often attached to them to boost revenues. And that's one of the reasons why turnover was up 4% at Maxol to €486m last year. Brian Donaldson is the Group Chief Executive of Maxol spoke to Joe this morning.

The Labour party has put prevention at the centre of its plans for public services, with the new government's public spending audit signaling greater ‘investment in prevention'. But while governments of all stripes have called for more focus on prevention, they have often found it hard to deliver. In recent years, funding of public services has increasingly shifted away from preventative interventions towards acute ones. With public spending set to remain tight for the coming years, this event explored what can the Labour government do to tip the balance towards prevention?.

Since 2010 the UK's capital spending on prisons, hospitals and schools has been consistently lower than many other countries – leading to crumbling buildings, creaking IT and a lack of equipment. But the size of the budgets is only part of the problem – these budgets have also been badly spent. This will continue to hamper public service performance unless the new government takes a new approach to capital spending. So what could it do differently to achieve better outcomes? How can ministers, select committees, the Treasury, and other central government departments rethink their approach? And what steps could be taken in the next multi-year spending review? The event began with a short presentation from Thomas Pope, outlining the main findings of a recent IfG and Grant Thornton report on this topic, Capital spending in public services: Fixing how the government invests in the NHS, schools and prisons. To discuss these questions and more, we were joined by an expert panel, including: Wayne Butcher, Director at Grant Thornton UK Anita Charlesworth, Director of Research at the Health Foundation Sir Jon Coles, Group Chief Executive of United Learning and former Director General for Schools at the Department for Education Thomas Pope, Deputy Chief Economist at the Institute for Government. The panel was chaired by Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government. We would like to thank Grant Thornton UK for kindly supporting this event.

Factors such as rising mortgage rates and inflation mean that people are increasingly struggling to meet their housing costs, especially those on low incomes – and women disproportionately fall into that bracket. There are a number of reasons for this: of all jobs that pay less than the living wage – 60 per cent are held by women.

Even in higher paid jobs, women still earn less than their male counterparts.
