Thomas is the CEO and Co-Founder of aisle 3, a brand new shopping marketplace based in the UK. After being made redundant just before lockdown, Thomas identified a gap for an online marketplace that seeks to solve two of the biggest problems in eCommerce. aisle 3 was founded on the belief that shoppers should be fully informed when making purchases and should be able to base their decisions on the things that are most important to them, such as price, delivery and sustainability. 

In this podcast, Thomas takes us through how he started his business from scratch during lockdown, what he’s learnt from the process and explains to us how his marketplace is exactly what the industry needs to form better connections between sellers and consumers. 

We discuss how eCommerce giants like Amazon have gone from strength to strength during the 2020 pandemic - however is it time to stop feeding the eCommerce giants and start reaping the benefits of shopping with independent retailers? Maybe we need to start rethinking the way we shop. 

Join us on this podcast to hear Thomas’ story of how he went from redundancy to building a brand new marketplace, as well as discussions on how marketplaces can help your eCommerce store, the future of online marketplaces and much more.
