I set up Buy-From® 5 years ago and have grown the business through collaboration and innovation. Buy-From® is a full-service creative agency with a difference. As well as representing national and international organisations, we have a passion for supporting independent businesses from kitchen table start-ups through to businesses exporting products and services internationally.  In 2015 we launched Buy-From Shropshire, which is now serves as platform for championing independent Shropshire producers, specifically those in the food and drink sector. Buy-From® Britain is the latest subsidiary of the Buy-From® Creative Agency. Buy-From® Britain was established in 2018 to deliver our promise to independent retail, to bring about change, to reinvent the use of space, to engage communities with shopping centres and, above all, champion independent small businesses, supporting makers, creators and producers in the UK.
