Danilo’s Dan Grant on looking to refocus the business in the changing retail landscape.
It’s a New Year and many in the industry will be hoping to move on from the uncertainty that swirled throughout 2019.
Source catches up with a selection of licensees to ask them about their hopes and fears for 2020, from both a business and a personal point of view.
Today: Dan Grant, licensing director, Danilo
“Well where do I start? 2020 is going to be interesting to say the least with a new government and potentially no longer being part of the EU. Hopefully things will settle down from a business perspective, but we will be mindful of the challenges faced by retailers particularly those on the high street and look to refocus the business in the changing retail landscape.
There are lots of licence opportunities this year with some strong movies releasing through 2020, plus some big sporting events including the Euros and the Olympics both taking place in the summer. I’m really hoping that the England men’s football team can prove the doubters wrong and win the Euros to create a bit of a feel good factor. Fingers crossed!”
