A Few Words from the Editor
W
ELCOME to the latest issue of Sphere.
Our cover story looks at how
retailers are focusing consumer
attention on value for money products like own
brands and private labels, particularly from
trusted stores such as Watsons and PARKnSHOP.
Then, we introduce you to the INQ
1
, an amazing
new handset that has just won the most coveted
prize in the mobile industry. It’s being called the
Social Mobile as it is inexpensive, simple to use and
takes social networking to a completely new level.
It is then time for a change of pace and we explore
the wonderful work being done by Project New Life,
a charity that offers free treatment to children in
China unfortunate enough to be born with cleft lips
and palates.
Our country focus takes us to Sweden, a beautiful
country which offers visitors an extraordinary range
of leisure activities.
We hope you enjoy the magazine.
