Mosaic Brands CEO Scott Evans talks NSW lockdown: "I don't understand why retail's open"
By Imogen Bailey | 14 July 2021
Mosaic Brands CEO Scott Evans has contended that a clear message for non-essential retailers would have been a more effective way for the New South Wales government to manage retailers during the lockdown.
The Group, which houses nine brands including Rivers, Noni B and Millers, has closed approximately 220 NSW stores during this lockdown.
Speaking to
Ragtrader, Evans said the conflicting messages from the government makes it confusing for both customers and businesses.
"It's not feasible for anybody who has a retail outlet to remain open when the customers are told, 'if you leave your house, assume you've got COVID.'
