Leading Magento UK Agency

GENE Commerce

GENE Commerce

Since 2013, we've helped ambitious brands grow with purpose - shaping strategy, technology and experience to keep pace with change and stay ahead of what’s next.

Our approach is inspired by evolution

Not change for the sake of it, but smart, structured progress. The kind that strengthens platforms, sharpens teams and delivers results that last.

We’re the agency brands call when Adobe Commerce and Magento need to go further. From replatforms to rollouts, Braintree to BlueFinch, we’ve spent over a decade engineering performance that scales.

Change is constant. Progress is optional. Choose both.

ISO CERTIFICATIONS

ISO CERTIFICATIONS

Our team are thinkers and doers.

Engineers, strategists, designers and delivery pros who know how to solve problems properly, and care about doing things right.

We don’t believe in big egos or rigid silos.

We believe in talent, trust and commercial clarity. Everyone at GENE brings ideas to the table, and we back those ideas with space, support and the chance to build things that matter.

That’s why our work sticks. And why our clients do, too.

Our values aren’t a
branding exercise.

They’re how we hire, how we deliver, and how we grow.

Our values aren’t separate from the work. They shape the work. They’re why our clients stay, why our teams trust each other, and why we’re trusted to build properly.

We question the brief, the assumptions, and the status quo. We stay curious, ask why, and push for the right way way forward because progress is what drives us.

Fly together

Great work doesn’t happen in isolation. We back each other, share knowledge, and leave egos at the door.
We go further, and achieve more, as a team.

Bring the energy

Enthusiasm is easy. Grit, drive and ownership are what set us apart.
We show up, speak up, and commit to making a difference, for our clients and each other.

Deliver results

Outcomes matter. We measure what we do, make sure it works, and don’t get distracted by noise.
Because results are what keep our clients and our team growing.

Find a way

We're problem solvers.
With commercial awareness, creative thinking and a refusal to be beaten by blockers, we figure it out and get it done.
