most private companies seem to be a closed shop - the Co-Op is the easiest employer into the trade.

I agree this is a very specialist area and probably a bit hit-and-miss to get into.
At least the sector won't be suffering a downturn in the recession, so the numbers of potential career opportunities should be level.
