ONE of Scotland’s fastest-growing e-commerce businesses has launched a new venture extending its current products to include top-quality branded workwear.
After two years establishing itself in the UK and Europe as a leading supplier of automotive, and outdoor leisure clothing and equipment, Livingston-based Indigo E-Commerce has applied its specialist knowledge to answer a growing demand from SME’s for quick, reliable next-day delivery of everything from bulk orders to a single pair of boots with a new project: workwearzone.co.uk
Indigo E-Commerce Managing Director, Iain Sked said, as a new web-based mail order business, workwearzone.co.uk was positioned to supply clients with all their workwear and corporate clothing needs quickly and efficiently and without the need for searching out and queueing at trade counters.
At its base in Livingston, West Lothian, workwearzone.co.uk carries large stocks from leading brands including Carhartt, Dickies, Dewalt, Helly Hansen and Scruffs.
And thanks to the location of workwearzone.co.uk next to the M8 motorway and the proximity of both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports, orders can be dispatched within minutes of being received.
Mr Sked said: “We understand that successful businesses can’t spare the time driving around looking for an outlet that offers a range of products to meet their needs.
“Workwearzone.co.uk is a dedicated supplier which provides that service for them at the click of a mouse button and at prices which traditional trade stores find hard to match and we deliver free on all purchases within Europe.
“We understand that quality, functionality, comfort and durability are an absolute necessity for workwear and our service allows firms, no matter how big or small, to shop with confidence, safe in the knowledge that the products we offer deliver all these crucial elements at a competitive price.
“Our websites are uncomplicated and easy to use and backed up by the level of service we expect to receive ourselves.”
Indigo E-Commerce’s clients already include local authorities across the UK, and nationally known companies including Anglian Windows and specialist building suppliers James Frew.
The company, which is targeting further expansion later this year, is backed by private equity investment company Coralinn LLP headed by Hugh Stewart OBE.
Mr Stewart said: “Indigo is exactly the type of company Coralinn invests in. It is a fast growing Scottish company with great growth prospects and a really talented management team.”
Mr Stewart co-founded the Livingston-headquartered Caledonian Alloys Group and grew the company into a $200m company with 13 locations worldwide before selling it to the US-based Precision Castparts Corporation in 2007.
