At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

Amazon opens pop-up stores in high streets across UK

It’s long been branded a high street killer, but Amazon has said it plans to give the government proof of how a new model of store – a hybrid of bricks & mortar and online – could be its saviour.

The online giant announced today it was launching 10 “clicks and mortar” stores across the UK, which will be used to sell products, including food and drink, for 100 of its third-party online sellers.

The new stores – which will also sell electronic goods, fashion, beauty and homeware products – would give online retailers a vital first step onto the high street, Amazon said.

Amazon’s online delivery model has been a huge factor in the exodus to online shopping, with senior retail figures, led by Tesco boss Dave Lewis, having called for the introduction of a so-called Amazon tax to level the playing field.

But Amazon said not only did its plans show its commitment to helping small businesses, but that it hoped they would inspire the government’s efforts to come up with forward-thinking answers to the high street’s woes.

It said the pop-up stores would be used in a yearlong trial to explore a new model and highlight the benefits of combining in-store and online retail in one location. The first store is opening in St Mary’s Gate in central Manchester today, with more to follow in Wales, Scotland, the Midlands, Yorkshire and across the south east.
