Danny Andrea, Retail Director of Artisan du Chocolat, added that some of these results are actually touching upon the same challenge.

She explained: “It’s all about creating that culture of putting the customer first, but that goes hand in hand with putting people first and I see that with the employee engagement side of things. It’s all about looking after your people; those you employ and those that come and purchase from you. Without employee engagement you’ll never have that customer first culture because your employees are creating that experience and are the ones that are ultimately going to put the customer first. So it’s about the two together rather than putting them as key separate entities.”
