The next 12 months promises to be an eventful year for RGDATA members as the continued pressures of high business costs and crime continue to dominate the agenda. The full impact of the increase in the National Minimum Wage and the statutory sick pay scheme will be felt in early 2024. The new Deposit Return Scheme is also due to kick in from 1 February 2024.
A raft of new laws are promised this year which will impact on the retail grocery. 2024 will also see at least two elections in June – the European and Local Elections.
