Significant events
- “2025 saw the group grow top line sales in a very tough retail market, where consumer sentiment was fragile at best.”
- “A new store was opened in in a prime location in central Richmond.”
- “Sofia, our Al sales agent was launched right at the end of the year. Created by a family member, Sofia can search over 3 million options and then give correct prices in seconds as well as offering alternative products that may be of interest.”
- “2025 was, we believe, the last year of significant losses from our manufacturing division. Every indication is that after 4 years we will have built a manufacturing plant from scratch, that taking depreciation aside will break even or be in profit in 2026 and beyond.”
