My Comments: Nicowa recently had a major Austrian bank making an investment in the company and they have ambitions to double the turnover in four years.
Interesting and quirky Nicowa has a very good name in Germany and the countries it exports to – In Ireland the agent enjoys a huge success with this collection – there is an existing database in the UK and this would be a good opportunity to drive thisforward.
