Welcome to our third quarterly newsletter and the ‘festive’ edition. Well, 2014 is nearly upon us, after a year of austerity for some in 2013.  By all accounts that is behind us and the future looks better for retail and the world economy in general.  Here at Universal, we have spent the year creating wonderful new mannequin ranges and VM products which have been highlighted throughout the previous editions of UDQ and seen in retailers around the world.  Some of which are shown in this edition. 2014 is going to bring many new beautiful products and mannequin ranges.  One being ‘Concept’, a new female mannequin range.  The first two mannequins were debuted in New Year during RDC and were very well received.  The range is evolving and will be launched formally in 2014.   We are also extremely excited about a brand new patented innovation that will move VM and retail to another level.  More to follow on this in the New Year! We have again tried to present you with an informative and exciting newsletter and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do putting it together. May I take this opportunity to wish you all and your families a very Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year from all of us at Universal. See you next year……….
