          WORK IS






          EVERYWHERE





          AND EVERYWHERE






          IS WORK












          BOSS Today looks at eight trends that are driving demand

          for products ‘post-COVID’








          “There’s not going to be a return to   demand, apart from the obvious
          traditional full-time office working. The   opportunity for sales duplication – ie
          hybrid model is here to stay: people will   selling the same or similar products into
          not be expected to spend all of their   both workplaces and homes – depends

          where there are lines of desks, but   chemicals and equipment, but Debbie

          people go once or twice a week to do   at VOW Wholesale, is now seeing the
          some brainstorming and catch up with   trend to hybrid working maintaining
          colleagues.”                      that demand: “There’s definitely this
            What this means for office products   idea of coming in and cleaning your own
