New Year brings new faces to eCommera

eCommera has started 2009 by welcoming two new members of staff to its London office, both of whom bring top-level multi-channel retail experience and first-hand knowledge of the ecommerce coalface.

Peter Medcalf is a Prologic veteran, with 12 years of retail project management and account management experience and joins eCommera as a project manager. His experience takes in successfully developing and implementing bespoke retail IT and ecommerce solutions for a host of high-end retailers and designers. Jason Bramsden comes from eCommera strategic partner Sterling Commerce and has joined eCommera as a solutions strategist. Jason has worked in multi-channel retailing and the supply chain for 11 years, helping build solutions for a number of international retailers and lifestyle companies including DSGi , Home Retail Group and Reebok as well as GM, Unipart, Schneider Electric, Legrand and Renualt.

Jason and Peter are joining at an exciting time for eCommera, which continues to go from strength to strength. In the past year, eCommera has launched a number of top sites, including Asda Direct and USC and has a great pipeline of new clients and partnerships.

Andrew McGregor, eCommera chief executive, says: "The work we do is at the forefront of ecommerce and our track record is second to none. This means we attract the best names in the business. Both Jason and Peter bring great skills that will further strengthen our team and allow us to continue to ensure our clients get an unrivalled service."

The latest recruits bring the eCommera team to just short of 50 and come as eCommera gears up for another busy year. With forecasters predicting that what little growth the retail sector will see this year will come from the web channel, eCommera is busy helping clients maximise the opportunity at minimal cost.

Andrew says: "Our solutions deliver record returns on investment. We have the best people and the best solutions and as a result within two short years eCommera has become a leading player in the retail web services sector."
