Shireburn eStore drives Gibraltar retailer

The Beacon Press, a leading stationery and office furniture retailer in Gibraltar, has launched their first online commerce website, based on the Shireburn eStore software solution.

The Beacon Press, which since 1988 has provided the Gibraltar market with stationery, office products and furniture, had been utilising Shireburn’s inventory and accounting solutions for a number of years. When they decided to take their business online, the readily integrated Shireburn eStore platform was the most natural progression.

The Beacon Press currently operate a retail shop and a warehouse, both of which supply to the Gibraltar peninsula. Beaconpress.gi will now be providing more comfort 24×7 to its customers with online orders and deliveries.

“We had to launch ourselves online with a solution that would integrate directly with our sales, inventory and finance in order to have a single point of data entry and automated stock control levels. So we naturally approached Shireburn to use their eStore software solution after having used their Inventory and Finance systems for so long,” commented Mr. Alfred Vasquez, Director of The Beacon Press.

John de Giorgio, Managing Director of Shireburn Software stated “We’re chuffed to have The Beacon Press on board. Shireburn’s eStore is used by a number of retailers and B2B suppliers, including Golden Gate and Retail International’s Winedrop.com, which delivers Marks & Spencer goods locally, amongst others. These sites have seen reduced workload due to the high degrees of integration to the Shireburn inventory and accounting solutions after they converted from stand-alone websites using Excel, to Shireburn’s eStore solution.”

Shireburn sponsors restoration at Sarria Church

Luke Zarb DemajoNews

In commemoration of their 30th Anniversary, Shireburn Software has sponsored the restoration of Mattia Preti’s Sarria Immaculate Conception. The project, managed by Din l-Art Helwa (DLH), is being carried out also on the occasion of the 400th Anniversary of the birth of Mattia Preti, the official artist of the Order of St John.
Shireburn’s directors felt that it was fitting to mark the company’s important 30th anniversary milestone by contributing to Malta’s heritage and leaving behind a permanent masterpiece that will be enjoyed for years to come. This initiative forms part of Shireburn’s CSR strategy to continue to invest back into the society in which it operates, more so this being their 30th year in operation.

Simone Mizzi speaking for DLH said the organisation was extremely grateful to Shireburn Software for recognising the enormous value of Sarria’s Titular Immaculate Conception and for the generous support that has made its restoration possible.
The painting had suffered from neglect over time, and its canvas had separated from its stretcher frame. Acting with the support of the Superintendence of Cultural heritage, Dr Anthony Pace, Din l-Art Helwa was able to take emergency action and intervene thus saving it from collapsing. The restoration work was commissioned to Giuseppe Mantella Restauri. Dott Giuseppe Mantella has restored many other Mattia Preti’s in Malta including the lunette in St John’s Co Cathedral.

DLH plan to put the restored titular painting back into its place over Sarria’s main altar in time for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on the 8th December, while work will continue on its massive stone carved frame in January 2014.
The Sarria Immaculate Conception is unique and rare in that it captures on canvas the symbolic victory over the plague in Malta, and of good over evil. The Virgin stands surrounded by angels over a background of boats that ferry the sick from Lazaretto over to Valletta. Above her figure, God the Father and the Divine Spirit, all look down at the triumph of good over evil. Archangels surround the virgin who, victorious, return their shields to their scabbards.

About the artist:

Joseph Casapinta, an artist well known for his command of all mediums, has this time embarked upon a creative journey, an exploration of the real places that have inspired him throughout his life. In order to fulfill this, Casapinta has developed a technique with watercolours that is beyond the traditional; indeed he states unequivocally that his inspiration is part of the technique he uses.

For the second time this year, Shireburn Software organised a blood donation drive at the National Blood Transfusion Unit in Guardamangia.

The initiative was part of Shireburn’s 30th Anniversary celebrations, as well as its ongoing corporate social responsibility programme, encouraging employees to donate blood and give back to the community.

The management of Shireburn Software thanked staff members for potentially saving lives today. They also showed gratitude for those employees who kept the office up and running in the interim so as not to disrupt customer support. The company provided transport to and from the Blood Donation Unit and also surprised staff with a much appreciated light snack back at the office once they returned.
