David Cox, CEO at Symington’s, said: “We’ve seen some major changes to the landscape of retail since COVID-19 hit, with many consumers turning to online shopping for their everyday essentials and more.

“Now that lockdown is easing and demand for our brands remains strong, it feels like the perfect time to launch our direct to consumer platform.

“It’s become clear in recent months that there is plenty of space for brands to move into the direct to consumer market while continuing to work in partnership with retailers, so we are looking forward to seeing how consumers respond to our offering given the demand we’ve been experiencing.

“At launch we’ll be concentrating on our consumer favourite best sellers then introducing new products and innovation in the future.”
