Founded in 2017, London-based Vervaunt is a 70-plus person ecommerce consultancy, strategy and performance agency specialising primarily in growing and scaling brands in the fashion, luxury and lifestyle verticals.

We greatly appreciate their support and look forward to partnering with them on future transactions."
