“We’re aggressively expanding our e-commerce offerings throughout the UK,” said Dominic Brookman, CEO of Mytown Technologies, the parent company of the Online High Street marketplace. “These are all strategic initiatives that we expect will enable us to be listed on a London’s stock exchange in the time to come.”
The moves have fueled growth, with Mytown, in collaboration with TAP Financial Partners, increasing its reach to well over a million people, or more than 2% of the UK’s population. TAP, a U.S.-based merchant bank, has been enlisted as an equity partner, providing funding and advisory services to help Mytown grow its market share.
Mytown’s software as a service model and powerful search directory provides an e-commerce marketplace for independent businesses and place-making/marketing platforms that support local authorities, BID’s, and small business owners. UK governments have awarded it grants for innovation and local business promotion, in addition to the contracts won with councils.
