We believe emerging and growing brands should have the same opportunities as well-established and well-funded businesses. As a small brand, it’s challenging to find opportunities in big retailers.
We’re here to help you.
We help SME brands get a foot in the door at major retailers like John Lewis, Waitrose, Harvey Nichols and Boots, so they can showcase their products to consumers seeking innovative and quality goods.
We do this by creating exclusive retail experiences and opportunities like pop-up shops and large-scale shopping events where brands can benefit from high footfall, increased visibility, sales and live customer feedback.
Not only that, but we also offer a complete wholesale/distribution model for brands aiming for a permanent listing in major retailers.

First, you’ll register your interest with us and tell us about your brand and products.
We’ll profile your brand against our current retail opportunities. That might be a Harvey Nichols Christmas market in London, a pop-up in Boots, or a nationwide wholesale deal with John Lewis.
The whole process can take time – a week, six months, or even a year from the point of registering with us. Good things are worth waiting for!
If we’ve secured an opportunity for you, we’ll then help you create a brilliant retail experience that’ll leave a lasting impression on both customers and retailers.
We really enjoyed our three week pop-up in Cheltenham – it was a very positive experience, both in working with yourselves at GBX and also with John Lewis. From a business perspective we were very pleased with the sales over the period and the opportunity to engage with new customers. For a small but growing brand such as Guinea, the GBX/John Lewis pop-up model is a perfect way to explore customer reaction and appetite for one’s products – and we certainly found it an invaluable experience.
