Locking down again?
Salutations friends of Flare.
Being based in London, we're on the brink of moving into the high alert tier - meaning tighter restrictions on who we can meet, eat and smoke with. With two and a half months until the end of the year, for a lot of people, this cannot come quick enough.
I'm sure you've heard this too, maybe you're one of the people who have been saying that the whole year just needs to be forgotten and written off?
Indisputably this is a strange year. Affecting people in varying ways. I mean, nearly everyone has had to change plans and some have even had to change life plans.
As a business, it has been a mixed bag. At Flare we've had the time to line up our ducks, get our stock in order, design our plans and figure out where we're headed. In our lounges, trying to keep businesses running in the middle of lockdowns, curfews and social distancing has been mighty challenging.
However, with every challenge comes new opportunities. While our doors have been shut, we've been refurbing, upgrading and finding our silver linings. We want our customers to come back knowing we haven't just been hiding away from the storm. On the contrary. We want them to see the beacon of change we are supporting.
If I had to summarise the ramblings from today, it would be to always make the best of any situation.
