Welcome to Leader Online

Leader Online's new website Leader Stairs has offically launched, bringing yet another dimension to the Leader Online retail proposition. The website sells a wide range of stair parts in a number of finishes. Customers can choose  from Ash, Beech, Hemlock, Oak, Red Hardwood and Contemporary ranges of stair parts. Selling a full range of spindles, newels, newel caps, handrails and baserails, www.leaderstairs.co.uk offers excellent choice for any feature staircase in your home. Leader Stairs now completes the current Leader Online family, joining Leader Doors, Leader Floors and Leader Garden Furniture.

On the back of our growing portfolio of e-commerce sites, http://www.leaderstairs.co.uk/ will soon be joining the Leader Online family of high quality, value for money online stores. 'We’re all really excited about this new phase in our online presence' said Mark Leader, Managing Director of Leader Online. ‘It’s a logical step for us to have an online store providing a wider choice of stair products and at the same time offer unbeatable value for money. We’ve already had interest from wholesalers looking to make bigger savings, so the retail sector will allow more people, to spend more time, finding lower prices.'

Leader Floors have been operating online for some time, but recent sales figures have shown a significant increase in customers choosing to shop online. ‘Internet sales have hit an all time high in the UK as price conscious shoppers are shunning the high street in lieu of bargain hunting online’, said John-Paul Rowe, Sales Manager for Leader Online. ‘ Through the first three months of this year, web sales passed the £13bn mark, which is a 50% increase over the same period last year, so it’s no surprise that Leader Floors offering such huge savings have enjoyed record sales.

After only a couple of days of online trading, Leader Doors made a huge impact with online shoppers. Research has shown that most shoppers have made purchases from Leader Doors because of price and quality. ‘The first few days showed how well we’d done our home work’, said Mark Leader, Managing Director of Leader Online. ‘We knew that the market was wide open for a company such as ourselves, with along tradion in the timber trade, to offer excellent products at exceptional value for money. It’s a simple mission policy, but one that never goes out of date, ‘offer value for money’ and people will always come back’.

If you’re a forward thinking, dynamic individual who can work well on your own or as part of a team, then we’d like to hear from you! In return, we can offer a rewarding career in both e-commerce and high street retailing with an attractive numeration package and benefits.

Since the launch of our very first eCommerce site www.leaderfloors.co.uk, the Leader Group are soon to have four sites with the launch of www.leaderstairs.co.uk; which will compliment www.leadergardenfurniture.co.uk and www.leaderdoors.co.uk, both of which are already live and are producing impressive results on ROI. Keith Palmer of The Creative Type Advertising said: 'The role these websites play in offering choice, value for money and delivery, (and all at your fingers tips), mean customers no longer need to suffer the frustrations of high street shopping.' 'In the past three months, the volume of retails sales has risen 2.0 per cent. This is the largest increase since July 2006 and shows precisely where customer are choosing to spend their money’.

Since the launch of our exciting new online garden furniture store, we’ve seen sales reaching new records as shoppers track down the item they are looking for, cheaper and with more convenience. ‘Over half of our sales are now coming from online’, said John-Paul Rowe, Sales Manger at Leader Online. ‘We expected an increase in sales, but our prices and products are proving so popular that we are now having to restructure our warehouse operations to accommodate more stock to meet our next-day delivery policy’.
