New Years Resolutions

Do you make New Years Resolutions? Last year Best Years made one simple resolution and that was World Domination.

There were some who thought this might be a bit ambitious, but if you have product ranges as good as ours then why not aim high?

So how have we got on?

Well in a year when Russ Berrie, TP Toys, Corinthinan, and more recently, and very sadly, Tobar have gone in to administration, our sales have boomed.

But although our sales have been great much of our time has been spent on much more mundane things

As Abraham Lincoln said “If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my ax”

Well we have spent a lot of time sharpening our axe.

We have moved our warehousing, moved our administrative systems on to The Cloud and built up stocks so that we can bring our service levels up. We have upgraded our website and our accounts system so that our backroom can keep up with our increased sales. We have starting working with new fair trade suppliers and new factories in China so that we can offer a diverse range of hand made toys. Its been a lot of work but will undoubtedly be invaluable as we expand.

So to use another quote, this time from Bonaparte “Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.”

We are now ready to take on the world. We start with trade shows in London and Stockholm and aim to be in Paris for the summer.

We very much hope that you will be able to join us
