Dating back to 1649, for generations, Burgess has produced the finest quality foods for people and animals. Burgess Pet Care was then formed in 1963 and has since become one of the leading animal food manufacturers for both the UK and overseas markets.
An under-performing website was starting to hold back progression, and Burgess Pet Care had identified new markets that were accessible and growing online. Burgess partnered with Wish to deliver a WordPress powered e-commerce website targeting increased revenue and raising brand awareness. The results speak for themselves.
