| THE LOSS PREVENTION ISSUE

PETER Higgins is a Chocolate Scientist.
He's President of Canada's premier chocolate and confectionary retailer. And he's
now also the Chair of Retail Council of
Canada's (RCC) Board of Directors, bringing with him a passion for people and commitment to the needs and challenges of retailers operating in Canada.
Higgins has been leading the team at
Purdys since 2012, where he's continued
to build the company, ensuring that its
customers receive tasty treats at a great
value, an amazing experience and the
same level of exceptional service that the
retailer has become well-known for.
With the company since 1998, Higgins
possesses a plethora of leadership experience and know-how. They're attributes that
Diane J. Brisebois, President and CEO of
RCC, says will benefit the association's
Board and its members significantly.
"Peter has been working in retail for a
long time. He understands the industry
and its nuances, the challenges retailers
face, the opportunities that are available
to them and the areas they can invest in
to maximize their resources and grow
their business," she says. "He's truly an
asset to the RCC Board. We're proud to
have him as our Chair."
