- Appointment of Wowcher non-exec strengthens Sorted’s leadership team
Manchester, UK; 21st April 2022: Sorted, the delivery experience technology platform, has announced the appointment of Colin Tenwick as its new chairman to drive business growth and help navigate the significant changes the retail industry is facing.
Tenwick, who currently serves as non-executive chairman of ecommerce platform Wowcher, as well as edtech provider, Oxford International Education Group, has a long history of driving success across digital brands both in the UK and internationally. His extensive experience within the digital transformation and online retail space will further build the strength of Sorted’s board as the ecommerce delivery platform continues its growth trajectory on a global scale.
The company’s growth is also reflected in its portfolio of leading brands, recently adding MintVelvet, Phillip Morris and home decorating brand Lick.
Sorted saw a 137.5% YoY increase in UK shipment volume in 2021 through its returns platform, as well as achieving a 5-star app rating. The appointment of Tenwick matches the strength of this unparalleled growth, particularly as offering seamless delivery and returns experiences is more crucial than ever in a market this crowded.
Colin Tenwick commented: “The retail and delivery sector has transformed extensively in the past 18 months and joining Sorted at such a pivotal time is an exciting prospect. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to enhance and help firmly position the company as a leader in the industry as it reaches new markets.”

A strong leadership team will be vital in carrying out our strategy and ambition to deliver outstanding delivery experiences for our customers.”

His passion for digital transformation and emerging technologies gives me tremendous confidence that Sorted is set up for long-term success as we work together to empower our customers.”
