Secret Sales

SecretSales is one of the UK’s leading independent online private sales shopping clubs. It was launched in the UK in 2007 to help brands clear excess inventory through short online sales campaigns, which are promoted daily at highly discounted prices to a private members audience. SecretSales is the channel partner of choice in the UK for over 650 individual brands across fashion, accessories, home wares, travel and other lifestyle categories. The Company boasts almost 2 million engaged members in the UK and over 50 staff located in Notting Hill, London.

Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures led a £6.3m institutional funding round alongside Pentech Ventures and OCP Innovation (a fund managed by Partech) in February 2012. Other investors included Connect Ventures, Leoni Sceti Group and the management team. The new funding will allow the company to expand significantly in the UK through all areas of the business, with an emphasis on sourcing, marketing and technology.
