Gav

Gavin has over 27 years of experience in ecommerce strategy, technical development, and business leadership. After earning a degree in Money, Banking and Finance and a Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Strategy, Gavin spent time working in data centers and leading retail agencies before co-founding Clear, where he has served as MD and Technical Director for more than two decades.

His expertise spans ecommerce growth strategy, systems integration, technical architecture, and financial planning. Gavin has led high-profile projects for brands such as Nike, TUI, and Team Sky, and successfully scaled and exited his own ecommerce business, Green Stamp, which focused on renewable products.

At Clear, Gavin advises clients on scaling online revenue, improving UX, and streamlining operations. He also oversees agency strategy and operations while remaining hands-on with technical problem-solving when needed. His ability to combine deep technical knowledge with commercial insight makes him a trusted advisor for complex ecommerce projects, particularly in Magento and Shopify.

Key achievements include leading the Magento-to-Shopify migration for Pockets, which involved unifying six physical stores with Shopify POS to improve stock visibility and customer experience.

Gavin is a Certified Adobe Commerce Business Practitioner Expert and Magento 2 Certified Solution Specialist.
