Retail Census Highlights

BAT Retail Census (2011 & 2018)

Commissioned by Frontline Research Group, Mploy was appointed as a key service provider for the British American Tobacco (BAT) Retail Census in both 2011 and 2018.

  • 2011: We were appointed to conduct a retail census in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu Natal and Limpopo.
