Perhaps it has been discussed but I can't see this freeze on freight being good news for boohoo as an exporter?

I bought a shacket off it for Safari last year. It was very good quality and I added a new word to my lexicon.

Regarding Google trends could some one please tell me exactly the context it is recording within? Is it for example in the context of total searches and the particular search terms relativitiy to them or is it relative only to total searches for that particular term?

Also I question the validity of it as a medium to gauge much in terms of performance: see asos as an example sales have more than tripled since 2015 and the trends data is clearly averaging down. Clearly the app, direct to site are the main avenues for that revenue growth? Unless. I'm missing something?

Perhaps it's already been posted - It's hard to tell with all the muck which has been posted on here recently-
But this I believe is one of the few interviews I've read with Mahmud over the last 5 or 6 years.

It's with the Daily Mail and shockingly it paints him in a positive light. I sympathise with his recent loss and it seems as though he's got the message regarding the sustainability of boohoo's supply chain. Most importantly I believe it. However there are plenty of slips from cup to mouth so let's just see what the next few months to years have in store.

In the last Q&A session the CEO indicated something would be forthcoming on a US distribution hub by the end of this year. Is this what you're referring to?

I'm looking forward to the impending (by the end of the year) announcement about the US distribution hub. I think that will be a real statement of their intent over there. It will be useful also in terms of boosting their overall sales capacity. Does anyone know what that is currently / into the next financial year? It was £3b the last time I checked probably a year ago?

If goverments demand a period of isolation resorts could tailor themselves to quarantine customers exclusively, perhaps with each one assigned tourists from a certain country. I'll caveat this by saying it possibly wouldn't be for me as site-seeing will go out the window but if you're ok with that then there is little reason to leave the resort anyway as pools, activities, beach and restraunts can all be offered. Many people don't leave them. This combined with rigourous testing could be a pathway out of this for tui & dart.
Though it might be a tough sell to local communities who would likely benefit less from the influx than they would if their local was a standard non-quarantine resort.
