Back in the 80s, Richard Loh, CEO & Founder at Eurostop was working in retail Head Office himself. Identifying a gap in the market, Richard took a leap and decided to use his experience to embark on creating and building his own POS system. He sourced a small team of developers and Eurostop was born. According to legend in the office, the story goes that the name was actually some sort of ‘admin error’ when intending to register the name ‘Eurostock’. In any case, it seems to have served us well in bringing luck, with 2025 marking our 35th Anniversary in business and we are delighted to be going strong!
Before the Millennium, the now forgotten but instantly familiar tones (to those of a certain generation) of files writing to floppy disk, dial up modems and fax machines rang out in the office where WinPOS was created
Digital Disruption and Unified Commerce
Over the last 4 decades, Eurostop has successfully expanded from our first POS system to a complete suite of retail technology, now powering unified commerce not only on the UK Highstreet, but across the globe. Retail has changed drastically during this time, but we are very proud to have a portfolio of customers who have grown and scaled with us by continuing to trust, rely and invest in our partnerships to service their multichannel online sales channels, brick and mortar stores and fulfilment centres.
In 2025, fully connected technology has to reign supreme in order to facilitate the highly desired unified commerce that retailers strive for and customers have come to expect.
35th Birthday Celebrations
April marked our special birthday and we took the opportunity to celebrate at our London Head Office.
As well as our much valued customers, we also treasure our teams of often long standing employees.
Akanksha works at out London Head Office. She is establishing a personal footprint in the Eurostop software solutions, but is also warmly recognised for her extremely positive and bright presence in the office. Akanksha commented
‘I feel really lucky to be part of the Eurostop family, especially as we celebrate 35 incredible years. Working here has been such an important part of my personal and professional journey. I’ve learned so much—not just about the work we do, but about teamwork, resilience, and growth. The people here are always so active, supportive, and genuinely willing to help, which creates such a positive environment. I’ve always felt encouraged to challenge myself and become a better version of who I was yesterday. Eurostop is more than just a workplace—it’s a place where people grow together. I’m proud to be contributing to our shared success, and I look forward to continuing this journey with even more energy and purpose in the years ahead.’
Richard Loh added
Thank you to all of my teams for helping to make Eurostop what it is today. I am really happy that we continue to power so many fantastic names in retail. Although challenges come our way, it certainly is a very exciting time with technology advancing as fast as it is. For me personally though, the greatest reward in business has always been when one of our customers is happy and we develop a mutually solid and lasting partnership. It sees us through many challenges because there is always a way forwards.
