9xb Joins Leading eCommerce Group

We are delighted to announce that 9xb is now part of the Velstar group of companies.

Velstar is a fast growing, full-service eCommerce group based in Liverpool. As a specialist Shopify Plus partner they work with DTC brands such as Castore, Neom, and Tangle Teezer to create best-in-class eCommerce stores and support them on their ecommerce growth journey. 9xb perfectly compliments Velstar with its focus on complex eCommerce projects within the B2B sector.

This merger will enable us to expand our service offering, and by being part of a larger business, we'll be better able to scale resources to meet the needs of our clients. The combined companies will boast a turnover in excess of £9 million and a headcount of over 120 people. 

Dan Sheard, the Co-Founder and CEO of Velstar, commented, “The acquisition of 9xb is a major step in Velstar’s continued journey of client centric growth. While Velstar has traditionally focused on the Shopify Plus website development and marketing services for direct-to-consumer brands, 9xb is truly complementary to Velstar through its main focus on B2B clients. Velstar will ensure a smooth transition for customers and colleagues, with a tireless focus on client satisfaction and exemplary service.”

Rob Burns, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of 9XB added, “Our partnership with Velstar marks an exciting chapter in our journey of growth, diversification, and innovation. It aligns seamlessly with our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients. We are thrilled to complement our service offerings with the additional resources, capabilities, and scale of Velstar.”

Exciting times ahead!
