LIFE GOES ON
Please don’t take my silence over the past couple of months for lack of interest. I’ve been out and about a lot and it’s been really good to catch up with lots of retailers and really hear from the horse’s mouth what it’s like out there! Believe me, we’ve been...
GETTING OUT AND ABOUT
I’m sorry it’s been such a long time since I wrote. I have been back from our antipodean trip for quite some time now, actually (I won’t bore you with all the details apart from saying New Zealand was spectacular – go, if you can!) – but I have been out and about a...
That’s ‘snow’ business!
First of all, a big thank you to all those customers who braved the snow and ice to visit Interiors in Birmingham – the weather definitely had an impact on visitor numbers but, if our results are anything to go by, it didn’t deter serious, quality retailers. While...
The Year of the Bedroom
It’s that time of year again – the shows! To me, it feels almost as important as the Oscars! After Cologne (which is Wiemann’s major show in Europe) comes the Interiors show at the NEC and we’re very excited about this year, as we’ll be unveiling an impressive 11...
BIKE ON!
Just got back from my Charity Cycle challenge in aid of Help For Heros. I managed to complete the challenge, but physically, this was the hardest thing I have ever undertaken. The first two cycling days were in the rain forests of Panama mainly uphill and all in...
IT’LL BE ALL WHITE
As I write this, I’ve just finished totting up the orders and new accounts we’ve been opening as a result of our attendance at the first Branded Furniture Show in Solihull. It’s been a very well marketed and organised event and has delivered a very satisfactory...
SHOW UP, DON’T SLOW UP!
Like many of our retail customers, we approach the end of the summer season with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. We are all keeping our fingers (and toes!) crossed that footfall and sales will pick up a bit as they traditionally do at this time of year – but...
KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!
We live in difficult times! From north to south, east to west, small shops to large, independents to multiples, the story’s the same – where have all the customers gone? No wonder war times slogans designed to encourage and keep up morale are so popular at the...
NOT LONG NOW!
Goodness – is it Easter already? It’s been a funny old year hasn’t it – the weather’s got itself all mixed up and out of season and business is equally unpredictable, up one minute, disappearing into a black hole the next. We know, we sympathise and we’ll keep on...
IT WAS OUR BEST EVER SHOW!
