Our Story

Since 2011, Perfect Channel has combined marketplace design, business analysis, UX, development, infrastructure & data science capabilities, cutting edge technology and a few grey hairs to help global leaders in their respective industries, such as TMX Group, GlobalDairyTrade, Lloyds of London, Christie’s and LeasePlan ensure their marketplaces operate efficiently.

In 2014 we raised external capital from funds managed by leading growth investor Beringea LLP to build out the Perfect Channel team and accelerate development of our product set.

In 2015 we released Perfect Exchange and Perfect Insight, expanded our team to nearly 50 people and grew our top line sales by 60%. In 2016 we launched Global Dairy Trade (GDT) Marketplace, built on Perfect Exchange our flagship auction and trading platform, experienced an increase in recurring revenue of nearly 100%, and grew our team to 60.

In 2017, we secured £2m in funding from our long-term investor Beringea, and new partner UIL Limited.
