Our Story
Born out of a global retail consultancy, Pattern has become Europe’s leading player in ecommerce intelligence, marketplace management and omnichannel retail strategy and execution.
Launched From a Living Room
Melanie Alder and David Wright launched Pattern from Mel's living room in Utah, USA, by selling fridge magnets on Amazon. Seven years later, the business has a presence across the world, including in the UK. Pattern grew from Dave and Mel’s hard work and entrepreneurial spirit, and we haven’t stopped hustling since.
