Swindon-based shopfitting and hardware specialist EPOS Partners has defied the current economic climate and achieved a new high with 50% year -on-year growth as sales for its products soar.
EPOS, which released a guide to setting up a shop for start-up retailers earlier this year, has increased its product range to further help new retailers.
EPOS e-commerce manager Jennie Knight said: “It’s clear that the recession has changed the face of retail dramatically, with household names such as Woolworths disappearing from the high street after surviving for almost 100 years. It has shown us that nothing can be taken for granted when it comes to trading and that even the strongest brand names and cult followings won’t protect a retailer from the reality of closure.
"We know how critical the early stages can be in the success of a new store and why choosing the right equipment is important. With the retail industry as it is, retailers need to ensure they are fully prepared to take on the tough problems that may arise and need to have the right measures in place. With our full range of offerings we are enabling retailers to choose hardware at a price that suits them in the quantity they need. I fully believe that our success and growth is down to the fact that we understand our customers and know the kind of products that they need to survive.”
To celebrate its recent successes, EPOS is revamping its website to improve customer service.
