“ILG are an irreplaceable part of making our Christmas trading a success. They operate as true partners, flexible and focused on making things happen together. They are laser-focused on our customers, ensuring that we keep up with demand and give our customers an incredible experience.”

Joel Edmondson, CEO, Hair by Sam McKnight

“During our peak season, ILG became the cornerstone of our operations, ensuring that we met customer demands with remarkable efficiency. Despite the surge in orders, our warehouse team showed exceptional dedication, swiftly processing and shipping a high volume of orders within tight timeframes. Their commitment to excellence was further demonstrated by their consistent and prompt responses to all our inquiries, ensuring seamless communication and swift problem-solving. Their role in managing the influx of new products and accommodating various requests played a huge part in the growth of Dock & Bay. We owe a great deal of our success during this crucial period to the support and professionalism shown by the ILG team.”

Gabriella Murphy, Community Manager, Dock & Bay

“Peak period is always a busy and important period for us at Olivia Burton. Making sure our customers are happy and get the desired service is paramount. In this it is always great to have a partner that works with you and is pragmatic in their approach to a sometimes ever-evolving day. We are lucky enough to have a partner in ILG who works with us to make sure all of our customer orders, whether Ecom or Wholesale go out the door in a timely manner. ILG understands our business, and understands that changes may happen over the course of the peak period, with the ability to adapt and react. This might be bringing a sale period forward, or changing the promotional activity dates due to the current business climate. Barring the postal strike action over the peak period 2022, this has been our best operational period so far. ILG are always taking lessons learnt from the previous peak period to make any required improvements for the following peak period. ”
