SikSilk’s Head of Global Logistics, Dean Jackson, says:
“Working with e-llis has massively transformed the way we operate. Like many retail brands, Brexit hit us with some massive challenges. As a UK based company shipping globally to over 100 countries, we experienced huge costs and numerous delays.
Through partnering with e-llis who supported our move to the Netherlands, fulfilment partner selection and transport partners selection, we’ve solved many of our immediate challenges.
The collaboration is setting us up for the future. SikSilk is continuing to build its global consumer base. Next on the agenda is how we better service our large following in South America, a continent that truly resonates with the brand. e-llis is providing network analysis and insight in to the challenges around duties and taxes to assist our choice of location and partner.
We have some landmark product launches this year as we approach our 10 th anniversary as a brand, such as the launch of our Messi Season 2 collaboration, as well as our brand-new Sport and Performance wear categories. We’re confident with e-llis and our fulfilment partners that we can continue getting these exciting products to our customers in the most efficient way.”
