• Scaremongering August 24, 2021
  We are fortunate to enjoy excellent relationships with the media – particularly those in the home interest market.

  The last 15 months has seen online shopping take off.  However, a new study by Deloitte Digital shows that the move during the pandemic to online shopping has hit a real-life brick wall.

  Thanks to the pandemic, community spirit has been all the rage.  Communities everywhere have been pulling together and one of the key rules of bolstering one’s local community is simple: use local shops or lose them – and particularly independent retailers.
