The programme provides established businesses with expert guidance, structured support and access to £15k feasibility grants to explore and validate new products, services and business opportunities. For [Regal Wholesale](https://regalsales.co.uk/), a long-established wholesaler of household products, the programme helped strengthen its ability to scale direct-to-consumer sales while protecting the resilience of its core wholesale business. **The Market Opportunity** Regal has built a thriving business serving bricks-and-mortar trade customers across the UK. However, after launching on Temu, the company found itself facing a new challenge: rapid growth in e-commerce. Within a year, Regal had grown its direct-to-consumer marketplace operation to hundreds of orders per day from dozens of product lines. The scale and speed of growth highlighted a major opportunity but also created uncertainty around Regal’s future direction and business model. Which other platforms should it expand into? How could it scale without disrupting its core wholesale operation? What capabilities, systems and processes would be needed to support continued growth? **The Adapt Approach** Through LYVA Labs, Regal engaged specialist advisor Mark Taylor from Retail Solutions to work alongside the senior leadership team and develop its future-facing business model. Through an integrated approach covering commercial modelling, operational readiness, and digital capability development, uncertainty has been turned into a structured innovation and growth plan. **Impact** The work has given Regal a clearer understanding of how to balance innovation with operational resilience. It has helped them step back from day-to-day pressures, assess emerging opportunities and build confidence in their next phase of growth. By combining expert challenge, strategic thinking and practical implementation support, Regal is transforming marketplace success into a long-term plan for a scalable and future-ready business.
