Bringing the UK’s oldest manufacturer
into the 21st Century.
EC Snaith needed to modernise their approach to eCommerce whilst maintaining their tradition and heritage in the look and feel across the website.

The Challenge
EC Snaith are part of the Firmin Group of companies – the oldest manufacturer in the UK and supplier of many of the world’s most decorated armed forces.
EC Snaith needed to strengthen their eCommerce presence to ensure that more of the products their parent company manufacture can be sold at retail pricing rather than selling into the trade for others to sell online. Their existing website lacked eCommerce best practices, and had meant that up until this point, they had used other sales channels to distribute products they manufacture.
The Solution
EC Snaith were in need of modernising to ensure that they stayed ahead of their direct and indirect competitors, as well as ensuring they have maintain their manufacture to retail outlet.
We re-platformed the new website , taking them from a legacy Magento 1 installation and delivering a future-proofed website on Magento 2.
The new website has allowed them to compete with companies they previously sold their products to, only for them to then re-sell them to the public. It has meant that EC Snaith and Firmin are able to achieve the retailers margin, rather than just the manufacturing – delivering more significant profit and providing a stronger platform for future growth.
