There’s been quite a lot happening since I last wrote.
There was such a good reaction to our better end ranges – the VIP collection – at the various shows we attended in January that we’ve been making some additions which we know will make them even more attractive. I can sum a lot of those up in one word – corners!
Corner units are definitely in demand right now – and I’m thrilled we can now offer a corner unit in the very popular Loft range. There’s also a corner unit to go with the smart new sliding robe collection, Westside – which also now has a partner, a hinged door robe option, which we’ve called – you’ve guessed it – Eastside!
The other success story from the 2015 range is Berlin – more of a value range but looking very smart – we’ve just added a corner option to this range, too.
I’m sure I don’t need to remind everyone out there that after a fairly busy order intake in January and February, things have gone a little quieter through March. It’s a bit of a cliché to say so, but the cold weather has probably had an effect –and we expect that the General Election will probably put a bit of a damper on business through April too.
Nothing daunted we will be working on a new catalogue which will be ready for the summer and we’ve got other exciting plans up our sleeves we’ll be telling you about in due course – watch this space!
And in between times, Elaine and I are enjoying the arrival of our second grandchild – Harry James arrived safe and sound to join his big sister Ruby on 7th March. Congratulations Simon and Jenna.
