As the company prepares to celebrate its 10 year anniversary in October 2019, Leicester-based digital marketing agency and ecommerce specialists Williams Commerce is reflecting on a strong 12 months. 

A series of important acquisitions, announcements and additions over the course of 2018 has placed the company in a great position as it moves towards a decade in operation.

Williams Commerce continued to grow with our customers in 2018,” says Rob Williams, CEO of Williams Commerce. “At the core of our business is a desire to continually challenge ourselves to improve how we deliver services. Last year saw us deliver more services, projects, support and ongoing development. 2018 also saw a number of new acquisitions, awards won, a major office move and expansion into new geographies. It’s been a great 12 months and we’re excited by what 2019 has in store.”

Ecommerce and digital marketing are continuously developing industries, and we at Williams Commerce will be sure to keep our fingers on the pulse.”
