Has Spring finally sprung now the
Beast from the East has sloped off over
the horizon. It certainly didn’t feel
like it when I was digging my car
out of the snow! But the weather
did have an impact on business

delayed deliveries and even the
cancellation of the Scottish Cycling,
Running & Outdoor Pursuits Show.
However, hopefully warmer weather
is on the way and it will encourage
everyone to get out, get active and
buy some new kit! And the weather
obviously made it difficult for sales
reps to go and see clients.
