CONTENTS From the editor W
hat a diff erence 12 months makes. This time last year we were looking forward to another year of growing prosperity, social whirls and grumbling about the imminent prospect of European holidays having longer queues at immigration.
Now, we’re looking at rapidly growing economic doom, can only wish for the opportunity to be social and Brexit has shuffl ed through virtually unremarked upon.
In other sectors, general retail for example, businesses are closing down left, right and centre with Arcadia – parent to many high street staple brands – just the latest (at time of writing) to face collapse.
The cooling industry is, however, surviving relatively very well and the spotlight is fi rmly this way as the talk of refrigeration and transport requirements for vaccines escalates, not to mention supermarkets and eateries expanding their off erings in new and interesting ways.
So for this sector at least, 2021 can be welcomed with cautious optimism, but for all of us, let’s hope that the new year is better than the old.
