Eggert Þór Kristófersson, CEO of Festi:
„The financial result of Q1 2021 is very good taken into consideration the congration ban during the quarter. All companies in the Group showed better results compared to 1Q 2020. Our employees have as usual performed outstandingly under these conditions and I would like to thank them for their good work. We should be seeing the end of the pandemic by mid of the year with more vaccination. ELKO has shown great adoptability with constant increase of sales through it‘s web store. Krónan has continually been looking for new ways to add fresh and healthy options which our customers value. Because of the congration ban, N1 has fewer employees but business has improved with new Ísey Skyr Bar locations.“ says Eggert Þór Kristófersson, CEO of Festi.
