The launch of the site will signify the end of Borders’s agreement with Amazon, which has so far been providing the online retail service for Borders.
Tangent will provide the design and create the website, which is due for launch in spring 2008. Earlier, customers interested in buying a book from Borders online were re-directed to Amazon’s UK website.
David Kohn, commercial director of Borders UK & Ireland, said: Developing a profitable and distinctive e-commerce site is a key business initiative for Borders UK & Ireland. Tangent demonstrated a good understanding of the Borders brand and what we need to do to succeed in this highly competitive sector.
