Our Story

January 2024: The Beginning of Knotted Commerce

Knotted Commerce was officially founded in January 2024, born from the vision and experience of industry veterans. Our mission was clear from the start: to provide seamless integration and support services that keep our clients connected, trading, and optimised.

Our Founders: Laying the Foundations

Tom Brewer and Ady Collins, developed their expertise in retail integrations over a span of 5+ years while scaling the Patchworks iPaaS business. Ady served as COO, and Tom headed up Sales. Together, they managed the integration needs of over 400 high-growth retail brands, overseeing scoping, delivery, and support.

2020: Innovation in Adversity

During the COVID-19 lockdown, We pivoted to a fully remote business model and pioneered the first integration support desk offering to clients like Huel and Tomorrow Limited. This initiative laid the groundwork for the advanced support desk 2.0 we now offer at Knotted Commerce.

2021: Growth & Investment

Our successful support contracts and burgeoning development projects made our business attractive for venture capital. In 2021, we secured the first of four rounds of Series A investment, propelling us to new heights.

2022: Breaking New Ground

In 2022, we delivered a groundbreaking full-service integration support and optimisation offering to Castore. This innovative approach has since become a cornerstone of our service portfolio. Additionally, we trialled and supported our first agency delivery partnership, proving the concept for future endeavours.

2023: Transition & Expansion

In 2023, Patchworks welcomed new leadership and transitioned the business into a full-fledged agency delivery model. By September 2023, we had cleared our project backlog and fully shifted Patchworks to an agency delivery model, paving the way for our exit and the birth of Knotted Commerce.
