About Us

Our STORY

IND!E was founded in 2014 with a clear purpose: to empower small businesses to grow and scale by creating pathways into retail, and to help major retailers stand out by offering exciting, unique, and locally sourced products alongside big-name brands.

Since then, we’ve driven over £50 million in revenue for small businesses, shipped more than 3 million packages, hosted 10,000 pop-up events, and built an active network of 16,000 emerging brands. From in-store pop-ups to shop-in-shop incubators, we’ve revolutionised how small brands and big retailers collaborate to meet the demands of today’s consumers.

And we’re nowhere near finished!

Why do we do it?

Small brands are the future of retail. We’re building a connected network of SME brands and major retailers, creating transformational opportunities that benefit both, while meeting the ever-evolving expectations of shoppers.
