About

I've been where you are.

I built and ran an e-commerce business to more than £30 million in turnover, with a team of over 40 people.

I've seen what growth does to a business - how quickly complexity builds, and how easy it is to lose control if you're not deliberate.

My Beliefs

E-commerce is not won in marketing.

It's won in the fundamentals.

If the product is right - priced properly, positioned clearly, and presented well - you have something to build on.

If it isn't, nothing else really works.

Service matters just as much.

Your reputation, your delivery, how you handle customers - that's what turns transactions into a business that people trust and come back to.

And then there's marketing.

Marketing is what scales it.

It amplifies what's already there - good or bad.

If the foundations are strong, it drives growth.

If they're not, it just accelerates the problems.

Background

I grew up in the furniture trade, around product, suppliers and the mechanisms of trading.

I went on to build an e-commerce business in the early days of online in the UK, taking it to more than £30 million in turnover in a year with a team of over 40 people.

During that time, I was directly involved across the whole business - product, brand, commercial strategy and marketing - not as separate functions, but as parts of one system that had to work together.

That experience shapes how I see e-commerce today.

I now work exclusively with founder-led e-commerce businesses, typically in the £500,000 to £5 million yearly turnover range.
