E-commerce director appointed by Simon Jersey

Altham-based uniform provider Simon Jersey has appointed David Pert as its first director of eCommerce as it focuses on driving online growth.

His first challenge on joining Simon Jersey was to launch the company’s new website which offers the company’s full range of more than 900 garments and has the look and feel of a fashion website, making it familiar and easy to use for customers. The site is fully optimised for all devices and encompasses new features such as an improved search function and ability to order personalised uniforms online. It also offers news and updates on Simon Jersey’s work with Team GB as an official supplier.

He said: "I'm genuinely thrilled to have joined the team at Simon Jersey. It's an exciting time of change for the company and the team ethos and family spirit is abundantly clear. With the new mobile and tablet responsive SimonJersey.com site going live and the opportunities for growth moving forward, we have a fantastic opportunity ahead. I’m confident we can make great strides in online revenue over the next few years.”

Simon Jersey has been supplying uniforms for nearly 45 years and over half a million people wear its garments at work each day. The company supplies uniforms to more than 50,000 customers worldwide ranging from sole traders to managed contracts for multinational organisations.
