Good News Stories This week

 

We are in the eye of THE "technological revolution".  

There have been so many important and significant developments within ecommerce & digital over the past 6 months that the sky really does seem to be the limit.

Amazon looks set to create 7000 new UK jobs in 2020 and 15% of UK retailers are also said to be hiring to meet online demand. You can't deny that level of confidence.

... and if that doesn't cheer you up, maybe the recent news that "painting eyes on cows bottoms reduces lion attacks" will stir a smile...?

As always, look to the sky & keep in touch!
