Monwell Limited was set up in August 2016 by Sara Montgomery and Nick Sidwell, both former employees of Guardian News & Media Ltd. The founders took over the Guardian’s online bookshop, acquiring the technological and contractual infrastructure of the business and housing it within the new company.

Monwell licenses the Guardian’s brand from them and has a contract to run the Guardian Bookshop.

Monwell began trading in October 2016. They are now looking to grow their revenues from the Guardian contract and significantly expand its business by partnering with new clients, including other media publishers and other membership organisations.

By working closely with clients to understand the particular profile of their customers, they tailor the product offering directly to their audience and their brand.

Their fully-managed, high quality ecommerce platforms helps organisations generate additional revenue from their audience, deepen loyalty with their members and gain useful customer insight with minimal upfront investment and ongoing resource.
