    I was speaking to my friend who is a buyer in Australia and she was telling me about Glassons and how she would love to work for them. She said their style had been completely changed in the last two years and was top fashion. I then told her about the SP and that I was investor. Pretty cool really, gave me a buzz

    I thought you understood retail better percy. Prejudices might affect your judgement and you might make rash decisions one day instead of joking about it

    Hallensteins just meeting the needs of today’s consumers, and doing it well....good eh

    Don't mistake my sense of humour as prejudices.Having survived two daughters' changing fashion moods,nothing surprises me.
    Retail is, and has always been "customer" driven.
    Trends and fashions change.
    Retailers who are up,or ahead of their customers, survive.

    ps.Let us know what your bowling club friends thought of you, when you turned up in your pink and purple Flamingo beach shorts.Are they going to be the club's new colours.?

    pps.May help attract a new breed of bowlers.

    Good feed back mate. Nice to hear news that gives you the warm fuzzies.

    So Di really was Wonder Woman in turning Glassons around, esp in Australia

    Sales monentum in OZ appears to have increased this year so expect sales out of Glassons Australia of about $35m in H1 and with about NZ margins that’ll be $2m/$3m more profit than last year. Real turn around that would be as they made stuff all in H217

    Will be interesting to see how profitable Australia is becoming for them. Unlimited potential over there as the likes of Meyer and DJ realise that ‘specialists’ do better than ‘generalists’ / department stores these days.

    Glassons Australia could become a force to be reckoned with in Australia (with buyers glueing up to work for them eh) and be the growth engine that drives HLG Group profits to $30m and beyond

    You revised your full year expectations upwards yet Jeremy

    I never buy shorts. In fact I only wear a purple T shirt all year round. If everybody dressed like me
    Hallensteins would not be a profitable business. I respect the right of anybody who is bold enough to wear pink and purple Bermuda shorts. The man needs to be congratulated for his bold tastes and thanked for his contribution to Hallenstein’s profits.
