It is the fact that we recognize that the Springboard programme reiterates our mission of making customers’ lives, a whole lot brighter.”
She added: “The other bit, is our vision of delivering a bold, new digital world and if you look at the technology bit Springboard adds to their presentation and the kind of entrepreneurial skills that they offer, one would agree that currently, if you need to run a shop, you don’t necessarily need brick and mortar because most businesses are all online now.”
