We believe a successful e-commerce business requires a unique combination of talented staff, excellent products, efficient systems, robust physical operations and reliable delivery partners.
How we work
We have a strong, committed and experienced management team, working alongside passionate staff with in-depth knowledge of their specialist area of focus.
Our own-brand product ranges have taken over 22 years to develop, working with some of the best manufacturers from around the world to ensure we build on our reputation for great quality at affordable prices. In addition, we have built strong relationships with the industry’s biggest brand names, including Yamaha, Roland, Fender and many more.
In FY26 the Group operated from 370,000 square feet of operational space - 160,000 square feet across two sites in the UK, 77,000 square feet in Sweden, 72,000 square feet in Germany, 46,000 square feet in Spain and 15,000 square feet in Ireland.
On 1 April 2026 the Group signed a 15-year lease for a new, 132,000 square foot, distribution centre in Yorkshire, located close to its existing operations. The new distribution centre is scheduled to be operational in Autumn 2026 and will support the Group's strategic expansion.
Our 50,000 square feet freehold Head office provides back-office facilities sufficient to support the business into the long-term.
Our bespoke and proprietary e-commerce platform is an end-to-end solution covering all aspects of retail operations, including website content, inventory management, multi-currency pricing, logistics and dispatch, CRM, automated marketing, purchasing, customer receipts and management reporting.
We believe this platform is a cornerstone of our business and source of competitive advantage, delivering reliability, scalability and unique functionality, and we have an in-house team of dedicated programmers constantly improving our systems with new features and functionality.
Reliable delivery with competitive pricing is fundamental to our proposition and success. Our e-commerce platform is configured to select the most cost-effective delivery options from 30 different delivery service providers, to provide our customers with a class-leading range of delivery options.
