Distribution

Abstract

Everybody knows something about shopping, but unless one is closely connected with distribution the sheer size and complexity of the industry—and its range of opportunities—is not apparent. Distribution is the word which over the last few years has come to mean the retailing, wholesaling, mail order, and credit trading industries. Taken together they represent Britain's second largest industry, employing 2¼ million people in over half a million establishments. One in five of the country's school‐leavers works in the industry at some stage within 12 months of completing schooling.
