IMRG representative Andy Mulcahy stated that the development of e-commerce industry in the UK has been assisting to generate new employments and energize the current economic climate this year. As a result the study is anticipated to determine that the actual amount of Britons who are hired by companies which offer secure online shopping has increased yet again.

Within the last study it had been learned that whenever the majority of e-commerce companies begin conducting business they take on about 5 employees. Generally each one of the 150,000 e-commerce companies in the UK hired approximately thirty individuals as well as the outcomes of the present study will show whether or not this standard tier has gone up.

This year will probably be an additional year of progress for the e-commerce industry however as national cutbacks commence to hurt and also the VAT increase performs a larger part there might be increased strain on the companies to provide affordability and ease on limited costs along with thinner revenue margins.
