Contract Extension

 

Samarkand Group plc, the cross-border eCommerce technology solution provider, is pleased to announce it has signed a 3 year contract extension with TEMPLESPA. One of Samarkand's key brand partners since 2019, the agreement includes Nomad Distribution services and an expansion of its Nomad Storefront offering for Chinese eCommerce platforms, including a Tmall Global flagship store planned for Q2 2022. Tmall Global is China's leading cross-border eCommerce platform and home to many of the world's leading international brands, generating approximately £360 billion gross merchandise value (GMV) in 2020.

 

The Company intends to announce a trading update in the second week of February, shortly following the Chinese New Year.

 

David Hampstead, CEO of Samarkand Group commented: "We are very pleased to be expanding our work with TEMPLESPA, who we've worked closely with since 2019. The Chinese eCommerce market is notoriously difficult to penetrate and being awarded this contract extension reflects our expertise and extensive experience in helping leading beauty brands grow in China."

 

Mark Warom CEO of TEMPLESPA commented: "We are thrilled to be continuing and building on our relationship with Samarkand. We are serious about our future China cross border ecommerce opportunity and we are confident that Samarkand is the partner we need in order to make our brand a real force to be reckoned with in this vast market. We have a truly wonderful product offer that we're very proud of and our early success in China proves our brand resonates with a skincare discerning consumer - we're excited to now accelerate this and widen our reach globally."
