Samba Sports scores online

Established in 1995 and based in Colne, Samba Sports specialise in supplying sports equipment to organisations such as retailers, sports clubs, schools, and some directly to home use. Their goal posts are one of the most popular brands in the UK being featured in many schools and form the Samba brand for the company.

The company already had a website with some e-commerce facility but it was difficult to update, offered no order processing and was based on a technology that is now out of date. With help from the DDU the company has commissioned a new development with a professional supplier.

This is a fully content manage e-commerce website that the client uses to run the online operations of the business. This is a key route to market for the company and will help safeguard the 10 employees that make up the team.

The new site can be found at www.sambasports.co.uk
