At The Tea Spot, the precise questions we’re discussing here are the ones I contemplate and discuss with my colleagues daily, and in particular at the start of each new year. We have to make the best decisions we can on where to invest our time and money, with means understanding where the trends are going, and driving those which we feel are best suited for our brand. We’ve got an extraordinary team who’ve helped build and manage our business responsibly, so for the past five years we’ve been able to focus on choosing the right new opportunities for our business.
