Humble Beginnings
Established by our CEO Jane Wallace-Jones, Something Different began as a humble car boot sale in the early 1990s. Jane, who had an eye for giftware and a passion for sales, began selling goods at local car boot sales before moving on to the world of daily markets, occupying units in several locations across South Wales.
As time passed, Jane developed an interest in becoming a wholesaler and in 1999 she took on a 5,000 square foot warehouse in Baglan. The model was simple, she bought stock in bulk from other importers and manufacturers, held it in the warehouse and used it to supply her chain of market stalls and offered cash and carry to local customers. In 1999, the Something Different website was launched. The first ecommerce business in its field, it was an overnight success and the business began to experience rapid growth.
Today we’re recognised as one of the largest giftware importers in the UK, stocking over 3000 products and supplying over 25,000 customers worldwide.
