Tanning 'revolution' claimNetherlands-based tannery ECCO Leather says it has perfected a new tanning process minimising the use of water. High water use and substantial effluent generation are the major problems facing tanneries globally. In a release last Wednesday, ECCO said:

They Said It"If you are going to add other details to your magazine, can you add the following: Opened on 23rd November 1969, to current [date]." - Hetesh and Vinay Daya, directors of Durban independent retailer Daya & Sons Tailors & Outfitters. How's that for all those predicting the end of independent retailers? "There is more of me around......much, much more - you haven't seen me for a while." - Beverley Phillips, retired former Bata SA PA to company managers, who was quoted in last week's newsletter. I had thanked her, saying if there were more [people] like her around, my life would be much easier. "I didn't see it because on that day I had to sneak out of home to practice on a guitar and learn the words of a song..." - Thus began a long, complicated and very romantic explanation by Sew Solutions MD Rabin Nagesar as to why he hadn't seen and responded to an email. And the guitar? He took his wife for a surprise weekend away to mark 2 anniversaries - the 29th of their wedding and the 30th of their meeting - during which he serenaded her with her current favourite song. I can imagine many female readers looking long and hard at their partners and saying "Why didn't YOU think of that..."
