2021 at Christies Direct
What a year! We can’t believe 2021 is coming to an end already, but what a year it has been for Christies Direct. Despite all the challenges caused by the pandemic, we finally started to see some sort of normality returning, with the return of in-person shows which we are thrilled about, and we can’t wait to hopefully see a lot more of our customers in the new year.
A lot of our blogs this year were written by our fantastic brand ambassador, Kayla Harrison and we’d just like to say a huge ‘Thank-you’ to her. She loved sharing the tips and tricks she’s learned over the years as a professional dog groomer, and we’ve LOVED reading them!
Find out which blog was Kayla’s favourite from 2021.
What better way to end the year than a blog about all of the fabulous blogs written in 2021. We asked Christies Direct staff what their favourite blog from 2021 was and why. This is what they said:
