Renaud Marliere, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer commented, “The Irish consumer loves to shop online and has a thirst for buying from overseas stores. UK retailers in particular should be excited about this opportunity to access an excellent service at a great price, because the UK is the number one shopping destination by far for the Irish. But they shop further afield too, from Asia, USA and across continental Europe”.

We want to make it easier for companies and consumers to sell, to buy, to receive and return goods, wherever and whenever they choose. By partnering with Asendia we are able to expand solutions in the UK, across continental Europe, the USA and Asia; this is a really exciting opportunity for us to grow our reach, with an international partner that has a strong reputation”.
