We believe that customers and staff will view this move as a positive step forward, especially when the pandemic has prevented us from putting on the show in its usual format. This bold step forward into the digital domain presents us with a unique opportunity to try something new; we feel confident that this will be a positive learning experience for us all and further strengthen and develop the way we trade both online and face-to-face.” FG
