Ed Corkery, Co-Founder

I’m Ed, the Co-Founder of TBM Solution and I look after the operations side of the business..

I’ve seen eCommerce from both sides of the fence: in 2011 I founded Soundzdirect, which sells speakers, headphones and audio accessories. This gave me an insight into what’s involved in making and developing the brand for a consumer product, and I saw up close in the process of getting products into the market. I’ve also worked with many brands to help them sell through online retail, or on global marketplaces like Amazon and eBay.

Then, together with Alan Eustace, we set up TBM Solution in 2017. It made sense to pool our resources as I had known Alan for many years and we had worked together to get products to market quickly and efficiently.

It was clear to us that many brands are looking for a company that can be a conduit between creating a product and getting it to the customer. We can help them with managing sales, marketing, inventory and warehouse logistics, international logistics and support. In our experience, many brands are looking for more than just a supplier: they want a partner that can advise them on the right approach and can suggest new ways of doing things. This way we’re more like a virtual extension of their team.

I’ve previously held roles in quality management for a medical devices company and I’ve also worked in the technology industry.

When I’m not working, I love to spend time outdoors hillwalking and camping. I’ve also been a volunteer scout leader with the 180th Lucan South Scout Group since 2004.
