A business with a history dating back almost 100 years recognises the importance of continually improving its e-commerce offering.
O鈥橬eills Irish International Sports Company is already a significant player in the sporting brand industry.
However the business is always keen to improve and develop.
In 2015 it won the Digital Entrepreneur Award for e-commerce business of the year (medium to large), proving that innovation counts.
Ronan McSorley, group IT manager, said: 鈥淸Taking home the DEA proved that the continuous improvement approach to e-commerce within the company is working.
鈥淭here is full integration across the business too in terms of customer service.鈥�
