Walmart – the world’s largest retailer – is presenting its new Marketplace to UK suppliers on the 9th September, and would like to invite BHETA members who are interested in onboarding onto their platform to register for a face-to-face event in London. This free event is the perfect opportunity to connect with industry leaders from Walmart in the US and UK, explore the latest marketplace innovations, and discover new ways to grow your business.
In Brief
