Meet the open-ecommerce.org team
We are a worker co-operative based in South London, and we have been building ecommerce and web platforms professionally since 2009. Our core team combines deep Magento 2 back-end engineering with digital strategy, client relationship management, and creative production. Every project is delivered by specialists who have worked on the platform for years — not a generalist agency that treats Magento as one service among many.
We have built Magento 2 platforms for Greencity Wholefoods and Suma Wholefoods — two of the UK's largest worker co-operatives — handling B2B ordering portals, complex customer group pricing, multi-tier catalogue management, and large-scale migrations from Magento 1. Our clients work directly with the developers on their project, not through layers of account management.
As a worker co-operative ourselves, we understand the working culture, the decision-making structure, and the technology values of co-operative and purpose-led organisations. That alignment shapes how we scope projects, structure costs, and support clients after launch. If you are looking for a Magento 2 agency that understands co-operative principles, we would be glad to hear from you.
