to provide what our customers want and generating a high level of interest in our
website. We continually strive to improve the functionality and usability of our
site and ensure that the latest products are on offer at the best possible prices.
Nearly 50% of our visitors reach our site by directly typing in our name, not via
search engines or links from other sites. This is the result of the great word of
mouth advertising that our satisfied customers provide.

a large target audience. Our website is visited by over 700,000 unique visitors
every month and the number is still growing. We are very happy to have received this
