- E-commerce, whether someone likes it or not, is the future of trade and it is not only affected by the current closure of traditional trade related to the pandemic, but it is a profound civilization change. The impressive sales growth dynamics of eobuwie.pl in recent months is a great example of the opportunity taken by this market change - said Rafał Brzoska on behalf of A&R Investments Limited.
