European expansion made simple

Gilhornes offers an end-to-end service that allows brands of high potential to successfully enter the UK and European markets without any hassle — we buy your goods, handle compliance, fund the marketing and sell to the customer.

Import & Compliance

Gilhornes manages the import process, pays the duties and tax, and over labels the products (if required) for UK or European compliance reasons only.

Sales & Fulfilment

Gilhornes sells your products directly to European consumers, ensures consistent availability of stock, and handles customer service allowing for a total hands-off experience.

We buy your goods.

Not consignment, not a commission arrangement. Gilhornes purchases your stock outright and carries it from there — so the risk of entering a new market sits with us, not with you.
