UNIFORM firm Simon Jersey has joined the e-commerce revolution.

The Altham-based company is setting up a site to enable customers to view products, monitor stock levels and order directly over the internet. The system will operate 24 hours a day seven days a week.

"Businesses throughout the North West are starting to realise the benefits of e-commerce," said John Ridd, managing director of Manchester based XTML which has worked with Simon Jersey on providing the infrastructure for setting up the site.

"Not only does it make good financial sense but allows businesses to provide the best possible service to their customers."
