GetJohn & Co, the B2B eCommerce integration platform trusted by distributors across multiple sectors, has announced its rebrand to GetConnect, marking a significant milestone in the company’s 15-year evolution.
The rebrand coincides with the appointment of Conor Evans as Operations Director, expanding the leadership team and enabling Technical Director, John O’Rourke to focus on development and product innovation.
“This rebrand reflects our evolution from consultancy to a product-focused business with proven technology,” said Gareth Pritchard, Commercial Director of GetConnect. “GetConnect has always represented what we do best – connecting businesses seamlessly with their suppliers and making eCommerce easy. Now our business name reflects that clarity of purpose.”
The Lancashire & Shropshire-based company has grown significantly since its inception, developing sophisticated integration technology that automates order processing, supplier connectivity, and inventory synchronisation for distributors operating in the promotional products sector and beyond.
Conor Evans brings extensive experience in scaling operations and customer success to his new role. “GetConnect has built something genuinely valuable for B2B distributors,” said Evans. “My focus is on ensuring we can scale our impact while maintaining the service quality and innovation our clients expect.”

The rebrand will not affect existing customer relationships, contracts, or day-to-day operations. All systems, support channels, and team contacts remain unchanged.
GetConnect are proud to become members of the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA), the rebrand signals GetConnect’s deepening commitment to the promotional products sector and its ambition to become the leading technology partner for distributors seeking to streamline their B2B eCommerce operations.
“The promotional products sector has integration challenges that generic eCommerce platforms simply can’t solve,” said Gareth Pritchard, Commercial Director. “Our technology is specifically designed around how promo distributors operate, and joining the BPMA allows us to engage more deeply with the community we serve.”
GetConnect will be attending BPMA events throughout 2026, including the association’s awards dinner following Merchandise World in January.
