Case Study! ๐ Jones Road Beauty, founded in 2021 by US make-up artist and entrepreneur Bobbi Brown, saw rapid growth with orders tripling in its first year and doubling in the second. While hugely successful in the US, UK sales were slowed by higher shipping costs and longer delivery times from the US. In October 2022, ILG took over the UK e-commerce fulfilment operation, impressing Jones Road with our pick accuracy, meticulous warehouse management, and the clean, sustainable environment of our Gatwick facility. With ILGโs flexible, scalable service, Jones Road could finally match rising UK demand.

Thanks for joining us! ๐ If you missed our recent webinar on Maximising Poland for Speedy Cross-Border Growth, hereโs the one-liner takeaway: Brands using Poland as their EU fulfilment hub are delivering faster, slashing costs and keeping VAT simple. For CFOs and Founders weighing up EU expansion, the message was clear – speed and compliance donโt have to mean higher cost or complexity. Huge thanks to everyone who joined live and shared their challenges around tariffs, customs and margin pressure and to Sam Taylor (ILG) and Liam Payne (SimplyVAT) for the expert insights. Missed it?
