WALKER GREENBANK PLC

("Walker Greenbank" or "the Company")

 

Relaunches Brand Websites and Introduces Style Library

 

 

Walker Greenbank plc (AIM: WGB), the luxury interior furnishings group whose brands include Sanderson, Morris & Co., Harlequin, Zoffany and Scion, announces a major upgrade to its online presence through the launch of five industry-leading websites for each of its brands plus the imminent launch of an entirely new website, Style Library, which will showcase all of the Company's products on one highly functional site.

 

The launch of Style Library is part of a £400,000 investment made during the past 12 months in the Company's online presence, aimed at making the Company's products as accessible as possible to designers, stockists and consumers. The functionality of the sites allows users to experiment with different combinations of products and to order samples online, with Style Library offering the facility to search across all of the brands on one site.

 

The websites are scalable for future business growth and will reinforce Walker Greenbank's leadership position in the UK and further its international growth strategy. The technology behind the websites is integrated into the Company's central IT system and will support B2B e-commerce, which the Company is in the early stages of introducing in the US.

 

The relaunched Sanderson, Morris & Co, Harlequin, Zoffany and Scion websites are already live at www.sanderson-uk.com/, www.william-morris.co.uk/, www.harlequin.uk.com/, www.zoffany.com/ and www.scion.uk.com/.The Style Library website, www.stylelibrary.com, will be launched in the coming week.

 

All of the websites are optimised for use on PCs, tablets and smartphones - including the three platforms, iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

 

John Sach, Walker Greenbank's Chief Executive, said: "We have made a significant investment of £400,000 to transform our presence online. Customers can now view our products, experiment with different designs and order samples online on any device from a PC to a smartphone. We are particularly excited by the Style Library website as it marks the first time that all our brands and products have been accessible in the same place online.

 

"The new websites are integrated into the Company's central IT system, which was launched in January last year after a substantial investment in our IT platform. The new websites have the functionality for B2B e-commerce, which we believe could have considerable potential in our planned expansion in the US."
