Commenting Yoav Keren:

 

"I am excited to be joining the WeShop board at a such important time for the company. I hope to be able to use my experience to help WeShop fulfil its potential and become a leader in the social e-commerce space. Furthermore, my appointment will help strengthen the connection between BrandShield, and extend the collaboration between the companies."

 

CEO of WeShop, Paul Ellerbeck, said:

 

"The Coronavirus pandemic has been enlightening in so many ways and we have come through it stronger than ever. I would like to sincerely thank the loyalty and belief of those team members who have continued to work so hard during difficult times, and also the recognition of certain shareholders who have continued to support the business. We welcome our new investors and Yoav as stakeholders and look forward to working with them going forward. For now though, we move forward at pace to define social commerce, fully launch the product, complete new integrations, and achieve a public market listing. I look forward to giving a much more extensive update as we approach launch in Q4."

 

Chairman of TSI, Andrew Lawley, said:

"WeShop is a visionary and highly innovative business that from inception has identified the long term value in social commerce as the cornerstone of the future of on line shopping, the growth of which has been greatly accelerated by the global pandemic.

The business has patiently developed its own proprietary, and globally scaleable, e-commerce platform and established links with key partners to be able to offer its users an unparalleled selection of product within a personalised, highly interactive and rewarding social commerce model. The business is now ready to launch more fully in Q4 and this significant £9m investment is not only a robust endorsement of the quality of the business but will also ensure that the launch, future growth and its plans set up to give the best possible outcomes in terms of success.

TSI has been a long term investor and supporter of WeShop and is furthermore excited about the synergy with BrandShield, another of our key investments. BrandShield provides leading online security and fraud detection services and the appointment of Yoav Keren as a director of WeShop further reinforces a partnership that will offer users a safe and protected online experience."
