Products made by people nearby
Some of the brands around Stroud begin on a scale that ordinary retail search barely notices: one person, a small workspace, a few local stockists and direct customers.
Understead makes those businesses visible while they are still recognisably connected to the people and place behind them.
Why these local businesses are here
A place is partly made by the people who grow there, make there, trade there and give residents a way to buy something from somebody nearby rather than from an anonymous supply chain.
Understead makes those people visible enough to use.
