eCommerce to be topic of discussion at Newry Chamber event

The event has been kindly supported by tomorrow.ie, Kukoon Rugs and SJ Henderson Fulfilment.

Online sales now account for 30% of all sales in the UK and with this figure only set to increase in the coming years, more and more businesses are transitioning from a purely 'bricks and mortar' offering to a 'clicks and mortar' one by implementing an eCommerce strategy to reach a global audience and grow their business.

Paul Walsh, Founder of tomorrow.ie will deliver a presentation on the breakdown of eCommerce activity in Newry and how your business can get a slice of the pie.

Clare Vallely, Co-Founder of Kukoon Rugs will discuss the path taken over the last 20 years to build a global brand from scratch in Newry.

Laura Kearney, Founder & CEO of The Walk in Wardrobe will discuss her journey from humble beginnings on the high street in Banbridge to shipping hundreds of thousands of online orders internationally through her eCommerce platform.

The panel will include Stephen Henderson, CEO of SJ Henderson Fulfilment who will highlight the potential for our local area to become an eCommerce powerhouse on the island of Ireland due to our strategic location and Dual Market Access.

The panelists will also discuss what businesses in the Greater Newry Area need to put in place to develop an eCommerce presence and scale their online sales.
