Continuing his European tour, Tim Cook has left France and headed to Germany to meet with Dula, the manufacture of the fixtures and fittings used in Apple’s retail locations.
First surprising Apple Store employees in an unannounced visit in Marseille, France, then meeting with Paris-based fashion designer, Julien Fournié and VizEat co-founders Camilla Rumani and Jean-Michel Petit, Tim is en route to Scotland where he shall be awarded an honorary degree from the University of Glasgow at a special event later this week.
