Happy New Year

Yes, I think we all know that 2020 was a tough year for everybody and many businesses have suffered but the real casualties are those who have lost loved ones or are still suffering from this awful illness.
So whilst we at Kop wish everyone a Happy New Year let’s hope we can kick this pandemic into touch which means tough decisions on all fronts, particularly when it comes to self isolation at times, working from home and sticking to the guidelines that have been set.
With that said, best wishes to all our customers, partners and friends across the globe.
