North East e-commerce specialist achieves record sales following move to larger Seaham office

North East e-commerce consultancy Rogers & Rogers has expanded its business by relocating from Peterlee to a newly opened office in Seaham.

The move comes after the company, which delivers e-commerce and marketing advice, felt that Seaham would be a more suitable location to recruit “more skillful” staff and clients in a more city-centric environment.

Having sourced a new and larger office space in the Lighthouse Building in Seaham’s Business Park, Rogers & Rogers has grown from a one-man company to recruiting a small in-house workforce which has already achieved record sales since the move. The company hopes to hire more local staff over the company months to expand further.

Andrew Rogers, the owner of Rogers & Rogers, said: “Because the move has coincided with an eCommerce boom and recent client wins, we have achieved our best ever first quarter sales for 2022 and many retailers have benefited from our expansion.

“Relocating to the new, bigger office space and being one of the very first businesses to move into it in November 2021 has also been very beneficial to our business because it has given us the chance to enhance our brand, implement more innovative means of working, save costs and be closer to clients.”

Lauren Coates, e-commerce growth manager at Rogers & Rogers, added: “It is really important that retailers get the help they need during these times as customer experience changes can be challenging.

“One of the main challenges that retailers should acknowledge is sustainability as Corporate Social Responsibility comes into play, which refers to the policies that companies take on to make their work more ethical.

“We have found that this is reflected in recent statistics, as research from Deloitte suggests that nearly one third of consumers have stopped purchasing from companies because of ethical interests.

“In terms of desired skills, it’s therefore imperative that companies sharpen up by redefining the online purchasing experience, enhancing social media, SEO, and more. These are just some of the skills that Rogers & Rogers can help companies integrate into their work.”
