Representation

A crucial pillar of Walpole’s mission is to represent the interests of the UK luxury sector. We work with key stakeholders across government, industry and media to ensure the sector’s economic contribution is recognised, that our priorities are understood, and that government policy supports the future growth of your business, and enables the creation of highly skilled, sustainable jobs.

In recent years, Walpole has delivered a number of key policy victories, including protecting the Selective Distribution regulations that are foundational to the luxury business model, and securing the end of US retaliatory tariffs on luxury goods.
“The engagement that I have had with Walpole has been invaluable. The candid views and insights that you have provided have helped me ensure that the voice of business has been heard and championed across government.”
