maltatoday | SUNDAY • 5 NOVEMBER 2023 10 COMMERCIAL Chanel's Holiday 2023 collection PARIS, The 1920s. Art Deco style is at its peak. The frenzy of the era is in full swing. It is a time of exuberance; sequins lead the way. With her avant-garde and free-thinking spirit, Gabrielle Chanel embraced this geometric and contrasting aesthetic, and experimented with a complete- ly new style. Within the walls of her rue Cambon Atelier, the designer celebrated life by creat- ing evening gowns studded with striking sequins. In 2023, the Makeup Creation Studio honors her daring spirit by creating dazzling eye looks for the holiday season. The carefree splendor and liberating glamour of that era shine today in a new exclusive collection that symbol- izes the Roaring Twenties in all its magnificence. With one goal in mind: to shine. Infinitely. Pandora expands its footprint in Malta with second outlet in Valletta PANDORA, the world's largest jewellery brand, is making waves in Malta with the opening of its second store in Valletta, and a dazzling launch event at their con- cept store in Sliema. Building upon the success of its recently opened concept store in Sliema, Pando- ra, celebrated its entry into the heart of Valletta with a party. The event, held at Pandora, The Point Shopping Mall, cap- tured the essence of the brand's dedica- tion to creating immersive and personal connections through jewellery, offering an unparalleled experience. Guests were welcomed into a world where jewellery is more than adornment; it is a means to tell one's unique story. The intricate artisanry and originality of Pandora's jewellery were all on show, creating a happy excitable at- mosphere. The brand is delighted with the buzz it is already generating in Valletta, and is poised to expand its presence across Malta, with more shops in the pipeline. Pandora invites all jewellery enthusiasts in Malta to embark on a journey into the world of Pandora, allowing their jewellery to become cherished parts of their person- al narratives. Pandora's dedication to per- sonalization and storytelling is palpable in every facet of the brand, from the me- ticulously crafted jewellery to its heartfelt engagement with its growing community of admirers. Pandora's expansion in Malta is in line with its commitment to serving its ex- panding customer base, ensuring that everyone in Malta can experience the mag- ic of Pandora, and become a part of its leg- acy, curating their own individual stories through enchanting jewellery. In addition to physical stores, an online shop offers convenient access to Pandora's exquisite pieces, allowing customers to explore and discover the perfect charms, bracelets, and more to tell their unique stories. IN today's digital age, businesses have unprecedented access to a vast toolbox of software aimed at enhancing and streamlining their operations. Yet, with this abundance of options lies a conun- drum, sometimes known as the paradox of choice: the more options available, the harder it becomes to make a deci- sion, which can lead to potential regret over the chosen path. This head-scratching dilemma cer- tainly resonates deeply with modern businesses across all industries. When faced with a multitude of technological solutions, software platforms, apps, and cloud-based offerings, all vying to be the golden ticket to organisational efficien- cy and productivity, how does one iden- tify the right fit? It's this question which sparked the entrepreneurial journey of Brian Ferris and Neville Micallef, the visionary duo who founded Scope Solutions just over a decade ago. With an ever-increasing flood of digital solutions saturating the market, they keenly recognised the need for an expert guide—a middleman—who could invest the time to thoroughly study, an- alyse, and put all the latest tools to the test. Their aim? To pinpoint the abso- lute best solutions out there and act as the perfect matchmaker between busi- nesses and the technologies. What sets Scope apart in the cloud-solutions space is its ability to piece together the puzzle, seamlessly, integrating exceptional systems to cre- ate a cohesive and streamlined cloud solution operation that is tailored to each client's needs. Understanding that ongoing support is crucial to their cli- ents' success, the team is dedicated to being a trusted partner every step of the way. And with their finger on the pulse of emerging technologies and indus- try trends, Scope continuously reviews and optimises their solutions to explore new functionalities and further enhance system performance to keep their cli- ents at the forefront of innovation. This relentless pursuit for best-in-class software ensures that they consistently deliver the optimal tools and strategies that empower clients to thrive in the ev- er-evolving digital landscape. Similarly, when clients approach Scope, the team dedicates the time to genuinely understand their business and day-to-day operations, challenges, and future goals. This enables the team to pinpoint the precise solutions that not only address their current needs but also possess the flexibility to scale alongside their busi- ness as it grows. This huge investment of time and effort in understanding both technologies and businesses has been the key to Scope's decade-long success, which has only grown from strength to strength. From a team of two, Scope now com- prises a multinational team of 34 tal- ented professionals located across six countries. A larger team has also called for a larger office space, and the com- pany is gearing up towards launching a new state-of-the-art HQ in Malta, set to open by the end of 2023. Brian asserts the new offices are being designed to serve as a creative hub, where Scopers can come together, brainstorm ideas, and push the boundaries of what's pos- sible in the cloud-solutions space.
