Joining us for some Retail Therapy this week in the Amex Lounge is Richard Murray, the chief executive of JB Hi-Fi – one of the biggest retail businesses in Australia – and one that has done incredibly well throughout the pandemic as people stocked up on products for their homes – new TVs, entertainment systems and the like.

Richard has been the CEO of JB Hi-Fi since 2014 and in April this year announced that he would be leaving to join Premier Investments – which includes the brands of Just Jeans, Portmans and Peter Alexander.

In this episode of Retail Therapy Paul and Richard discuss:

Richard’s move to Premier Investments from JB Hi-Fi
His love and passion for retail
Diversity and representation
How small business is the engine room of the economy
What you learn from your first job in retail
A day in the life of Richard Murray
Jumping at opportunities
Being proud to be a retailer
Designing digital retail spaces
