Our channels to marketA multi-channel approach provides a purchasing solution to meet all needs

Our multi-channel approach includes:

 

• eCommerce

eCommerce is at the heart of our business strategy. 56% of global revenues are generated online and our goal is to build a £1bn+ eCommerce business. Our significant growth through the last two years is inextricably linked to our online offer. We have transformed our customers' online experience, introduced e-procurement systems and electronics design tools and launched one of the most advanced transactional websites in our industry sector. This strategy has enabled us to increase new product introductions from 5,000 per year to 5,000 per month.
