LiteBulb Group Limited

("LiteBulb" or "the Company")

 

LiteBulb Group signs first deal with QVC America. New major retailers signed in the UK

 

 

Innovation hub, LiteBulb Group, is pleased to announce that it has signed its first deal with QVC in the US to sell its range of Ila products. The initial order is for $100,000 and should launch on the channel in November. This order from the US parent company of QVC follows successful sales with QVC in the UK.

 

Further to this, the group has signed up a number of major retailers in the United Kingdom and internationally for its diverse range of brands. These continue to add to the distribution coverage of the group and ensure that its new and innovative products get to the widest retail market coverage as quickly as possible.

 

The Company has formed new relationships with UK retailers including Tesco, BHS and Wilkinson for its ShirtBox range of children's lunchboxes, and has taken repeat orders from Asda, Sainsbury's and Next. This news follows last month's announcement that Halfords would launch the Company's Scootrix brand of accessories for children's scooters in September.

 

LiteBulb Group is also expanding its scope internationally with a new order from Ireland's largest retailer Dunnes Stores for the ila Safety range of personal safety accessories. The Company is already reaping the benefits of new relationships with distributors in Japan, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Taiwan and Hungary.

 

CEO Simon McGivern commented, "It's gratifying to see such growth in our retailer relationships, which runs parallel with the rate at which we are developing new brands and products. We're working hard to ensure that we continue to offer innovative, useful products that satisfy a need in the marketplace - both in the UK and internationally - and retailers are responding well."
