About UK Commerce Index

UK Commerce Index exists to highlight and recognise strong commercial execution within the UK commerce landscape. The Index focuses on brands operating across ecommerce, omnichannel retail and supporting commerce technology, with an emphasis on performance, customer experience and operational maturity.

Rather than broad rankings, UK Commerce Index uses clear, category-led recognition to reflect how commerce actually operates in practice. The aim is to provide a credible reference point for operators, partners and the wider industry, while maintaining a UK-only lens that reflects local market realities. The Index is built to evolve over time as commerce models, expectations and standards change.

• Clear, published criteria for each category
