Following the success of its European expansion and increasing
orders from non-European territories, Mobile Fun
has launched its first website outside the European market. The
Mobile Fun US site, managed by Blake Scott, will sell products
from its extensive range of 7,000 globally-sourced mobile
accessories and devices. Richard Moore, Mobile Fun’s head of
international says the US site is just one in a string of planned
launches. Mobile Fun is currently setting up an office on the US
east coast and recruiting an on-the-ground team. It is also
planning to launch in Australia, Canada, India, Brazil and
Ireland in the coming months.
Despite revealing a profit decline of 62 per cent to £22.7
million, general merchandiser Wilkinson is
opening 10 new stores and creating 1,000 new jobs across the UK
this year. The
Mirror reports that the store will bear the moniker Wilko,
which will be rolled out to the rest of the business. In the year
ended February 2012, sales inched up to £1.56 billion.
Cygnus Books, a mail order and online seller of
books on wellbeing and natural healing, is planning to expand its
business into European markets including Germany and the
Netherlands. The company currently despatches worldwide but
accepts only cheques in sterling, postal orders or credit and
debit cards as payments. To help facilitate its expansion, Cygnus
has chosen Computop for its payment processing services. The
contract will allow Cygnus to accept alternative payment methods
including PayPal, iDEAL and Giropay.
