was asked whether this development will lead to a listing by The Home Depot in
the USA. He replied “It has been our policy to take
things one step at a time and avoid predictions about things beyond our
control. Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner
meets the needs of North American consumers in all regions. We will continue to work hard to earn the
respect of consumers and retail partners wherever they are. I would rather
focus on doing a good job for our partners and letting things take their
natural course.”
