Hefty gains

John Declerk, director general of Castorama Russia, assumes from his company’s operational figures to date that the Russian DIY market is reviving again after the crisis experienced over the last few years. He expects sales to be considerably higher in 2011 than in 2010: according to estimates from infoLine, these should amount to RUB 11.26 bn, or 40 per cent more than 2009.
