Firm takes e-commerce by Hailstorm

Export growth is the target for an e-commerce enterprise, says Trish Dromey

THE surge in growth in online sales in recent years has created opportunities for Limerick-based e-commerce company Hailstorm Commerce, which is hatching ambitious plans to move into Britain and Europe.

Founded in April 2011, Hailstorm has built up a business developing e-commerce sites for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors. Now employing a staff of 22, it is currently recruiting and aims to increase this number to 30 by the end of November.
