Trouva, the curated online marketplace for the best independent bricks-and-mortar shops and one of the five fastest growing tech businesses in the UK has announced the appointment of Niall Wass as non-executive chair. This appointment comes at a significant time of growth for the start-up, following a $10m USD Series A funding round last year that was led by BGF Ventures, alongside Index Ventures and Octopus Ventures. In his new role at Trouva, Wass will be working alongside the current leadership team to devise and execute strategies for growth as it looks to further establish itself as the global destination for the best of independent retail. As a case in point, Trouva formally launches boutiques from three new creative capitals on the platform today, enabling customers to shop local from Amsterdam, Madrid and Copenhagen for the first time via Trouva.com.
