"In some categories, we have seen the deployment of new technology universally upend traditional ways of thinking. For example, the presence of some restaurant chains commonly seen on the high street less than ten years back is a key sector that has faced immense pressure over recent years due to changing consumer demand.
"However, it is important to note that where one commercial sector might have seen vast change, with innovative thinking, other individual sectors have flourished. There is no doubt there will be future evolution ahead; however, for the time being, the focus continues to be keeping a close check on the here and now."
