Amazon Celebrates the UK’s First Ecommerce Week

Amazon celebrates the UK's first E-Commerce week

The ecommerce week has been led by the Ecommerce Trade Commission to empower businesses across the UK which have the potential to export internationally.

Amazon is celebrating the UK’s first ecommerce Week to inspire, educate and motivate businesses of all sizes across the UK to grow online.

Anjana Anand, Director of Insight & Innovation UK at Amazon, said, “We believe that ecommerce is a powerful enabler to exporting – it helps businesses to ‘dip their toe’ in other markets, and learn how to scale up international sales, without having to place a big bet upfront. We can do much more to inspire and motivate businesses to explore the opportunities that ecommerce exporting offers. This is why we are delighted to support the Ecommerce Trade Commission which will make a genuine contribution towards boosting UK economic growth and supporting small businesses to reach their exporting potential.”

Marco Forgione, Director General of the Institute of Export & International Trade and Chair of the Ecommerce Trade Commission, said, “The Ecommerce Trade Commission brings together key marketplaces and organisations united in our ambition to help UK businesses benefit from international trade. We know that exporting for a small business can seem daunting, but education is key – which is where ecommerce week comes in. We’re here to hold every business owner’s hand through every step of the process – from finding out which countries have a strong desire for your product, to how to deal with customs, to finding the best value logistics for your business. No matter what concerns or questions you may have, we’re here to help. This is your opportunity to find out just how far you can take your businesses.”
