She will speak about her own journey and lessons learned as a business leader and founder, and what the government is doing to support small firms.Clare Bailey: Loyalty and trust - Lessons from retail for every businessReal loyalty isn't about points cards or discounts. It's about trust, credibility, and those small moments of joy that make people feel valued. In this session, Clare (Retail and Hospitality Champion) will explore what true loyalty looks like in practice - from Pret a Manger's surprise free coffees to Lidl's playful spin-the-wheel promotions - and what any business can learn from them.Clare will share lessons from her work supporting independent retailers, local authorities, and small businesses through high street recovery, digital adoption, and growth. Whether you run a café, builder's merchant, or consultancy, the same principles apply: people choose businesses they trust.You'll hear how trust and reputation influence customers, suppliers, and employees - from online reviews to employer brand - and take away practical strategies you can use to build stronger relationships and stand out in competitive markets.York Business FestivalYork Business Festival is organised by York Business School at York St John University in partnership with York Press, and supported by City of York Council, York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub and York BID.You can view the full list of events taking place as part of the festival here. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/2f028570-b662-11f0-9743-6fdd05a2854c-rimg-w1184-h740-dcefe8fe-gmir.jpg Events Access & InclusivityAt York St John University we are committed to making our events as welcoming and inclusive for as many people as possible.If you are planning to attend one of our events and have specific access requirements, including wheelchair access, then please contact us by e: events@yorksj.ac.uk or t: 01904 876318 and we will make every effort to accommodate you.If you need a suitable seat reserved for you (and your companions), please let us know, preferably at least one week before the event.
