We explore balancing heritage with innovation, building sustainability into products and operations, and the journey to a zero-waste eco-factory in Estonia. Claire also unpacks earning consumer trust, making the investment case, and her advice to the next generation of leaders.

Online marketplace OnBuy.com has been ranked as Europe’s fastest-growing e-commerce business according to the FT 1000.

The annual list from the Financial Times reports the latest annual ranking of businesses by revenue growth across Europe.

UK-based OnBuy placed 25th on the list – after achieving 3402% growth since 2018.

The ranking comes just months after OnBuy placed eleventh on the UK Technology Fast 50 2022, Deloitte’s ranking of the UK’s fastest-growing tech companies – claiming top spot for the South West region industry-wide.

Spearheaded by CEO Cas Paton, the site currently has around six million customers, with over 35 million products onsite from a wide range of sellers.

Paton said that inclusion in the FT 1000 represents a “benchmark of success resulting in enhanced brand and customer recognition – as well as visibility with potential investors”.

Paton said: “Inclusion on the FT 1000 as Europe’s fastest-growing eCommerce business is the culmination of a lot of hard work. I’m incredibly proud of the whole OnBuy team and the brilliant work that we have done as a group to get into this position.

“I attribute the business’ strong growth to our collective commitment to providing a fairer ecosystem for both sellers and buyers. It’s really important to us as a company that our values remain consistent, with fairness and transparency always at the heart of the business.”

He added: “But this is just the start for us. We’re on the verge of unveiling a series of incredibly exciting innovations that will help bring us even closer to our sellers and our customers allowing us to build a better, stronger marketplace for the future. The ranking represents a springboard for us to take the next big step in our journey – there’s lots more to come.”
