We love eCommerce. With Magento by our side we are able to build websites that look great, maximise user experience and focus on increasing conversion rates. Building Magento extensions, integrating interesting APIs and mugs of coffee get us up in the morning.
We’re really interested in checkout optimisations and customer retention. After all, if a customer’s site isn’t converting, then something needs to be done.

- Tom’s a Computer Science graduate from the University of Bath, originally from Kent.
- He loves working in eCommerce because of the amazing things we build on a day-to-day basis – “there’s always something exciting on the horizon”.
- Outside of work he enjoys being a Magento forum moderator, reading Lee Child, listening to Enter Shikari, rewatching tacky transformer films and eating pub food.
- Pet hate: being ‘recognised’ as Justin Bieber.

- Had the unfortunate experience of meeting Tom while studying Computer Science at the University of Bath, originally from a village near Swansea in South Wales.
- Refuses to wear shoes in the office and does not resent having an incredibly common name.
- Loves building anything to do with automated scaling, distributed computing and autonomic systems. You’ll find him hacking away at anything new and cool, currently interested in Rails and Lift.
Martin Shaw
- Okay… So the objective here is to do my best to not sound like a tool…
- I’m a computer science graduate of The University of Bath, with an unhealthy love for the terminal. Keen on coding and into just about anything techy.
- Aside from that I’m an avid gamer, both console and PC, and I’m heavily into alternative music and anime.
- Objective failed.
Meanbee have been partners with Magento since its launch in July 2007. Dedicated to its success, we first published a Royal Mail extension a couple of months after Magento’s release to support UK companies.
We’ve got address accuracy at the checkout covered with our Smart Address extensions covering the UK, US, Canada and Europe. Having teamed up with the guys at PostcodeAnywhere.co.uk we are able to offer address completion from a customer’s postcode within the Magento Checkout. Another of our goals is to improve Magento’s default checkout.
Our One-page Checkout extension is designed to speed up checkout times and improve customer transparency.
Once a store of ours becomes live, we make sure we are always around to help. An online store should be treated no differently to a high street store. Every now and again a lick of paint may be needed or some additional functionality added. We’re out to build relationships with our customers and stay with them for the long haul.
