We asked copernicus to look into how we could best achieve this goal, if indeed it was achievable. Copernicus also helped us get a government grant, which we would never have imagined we were eligable for, to help fund the research. As a result of the research we now have our product in 150 outlets in Italy."

It became well known within our industry that Russia was a market that should be looked into. We comissioned Copernicus to assess the Russian perception of our products and thus aid us in our market positioning. With the valuable information Copernicus provided we were able to develop an 'Irish-Russian' style range. Within a year our range was being distributed in over a dozen outlets and we have received a grant to show at Russia's Fashion Week"

They put us in touch with appropriate distributors within the supply chain. We have now established ourselves in Moscow and are looking to develop new products for the market."
