Salon International - February 2021

I dette nummeret

They say about the month of February that there is everything to hope for and nothing to regret. The adage holds true for the time we were in and the time we are in now. The pandemic is slowly ebbing away and as the number of cases are going down in some cites, employees are coming back, and what’s more, even malls and shopping areas are seeing a higher footfall. We can only hope for the pandemic to go away and some semblance of normalcy to return in in our daily lives.
In In Focus, we highlight the important role of distributors in the industry.
