2009 like 2008 was another difficult trading year for most of the retail industry. The Sales and Merchandising sector was particularly hard hit to the extent many of our competitors “closed their doors”. As a result, there are now only two truly dedicated and national general merchandising companies servicing the entire chain store environment - one being SRS. In 2009 SRS concentrated its efforts on service delivery to its existing clients. This paid off. It strengthened our relationships, improved our overall performance and positioned us to reach our goals. Indicators predict 2010 will continue to be challenging. We believe SRS will benefit from our industry-leading service levels, high staff motivation and the optimistic atmosphere surrounding the 2010 football world cup. Our goal this year will be to focus fully on consolidating our existing client base to ensure we play our part in meeting their needs and objectives. Our National Footprint enables us to reach further and give you the support and service that you expect!
