Therefore, it will be our persisting endeavour to accelerate and grow the business and take it to newer heights. We plan to do this by strengthening our brand portfolio, expanding the presence of Mono-Brand stores and renewing our focus on becoming truly Omni-Channel. Recent brand additions at The Collective and the launch of stores such as Ted Baker, Polo Ralph Lauren and American Eagle are indicative of the same endeavour. With so much more to follow and given our proven track record of execution, there is reason to be excited about the action-packed road ahead.
