About
Transforming Traditional Retail
We are experts in Chinese cross-border ecommerce, with a proven history of addressing the entire range of hurdles and challenges to making sales in the world’s largest ecommerce market.
Through our own marketplace unineed.com, we have worked with a wide range of small and large UK and European brands, helping them achieve significant international growth into China and beyond.
From humble beginnings
From humble beginnings selling from a living room in Glasgow, we have grown to become a multimillion pound vendor focused on the Chinese and international markets, and an end-to-end platform provider to our partners.
We are passionate about providing an unrivalled service and growing in partnership with our clients as we break down the barriers to cross border ecommerce.
