I never fail to be impressed by the resilience of markets and their ability to adapt. Whilst there have been casualties and many sorry tales of woe, by and large the UK has proved itself to be extraordinarily robust. 

As we roll down the road into 2022, a glance at the rear view mirror shows some wrecks  but the survivors have been stress tested to the extreme and the road ahead looks smooth, at least for now. 

But for now, sit back and enjoy our latest ecommerce & digital newsletter!


"Britain is set to unleash a wave of economic growth by unlocking a well of untapped digital innovation... the digital economy… is a huge opportunity for us. We have one of the most vibrant tech ecosystems anywhere in the world...”

(Rishi Sunak, Chancellor)
