In 2011, our co-founders, CEO Mark Coulter, CXO Adam McWhinney, NED Conrad Yiu, and founding CEO Brian Shanahan, decided to change the way people shopped for furniture and homewares. They unearthed a little known, but important Australian story. That of convicts William Temple (a carpenter) and John Webster (a carver and gilder) who were commissioned by Governor Lachlan Macquarie to make two fine chairs. As a result of their teamwork and craftsmanship, the pair were pardoned. This story about collaboration and empowerment inspired our name, Temple & Webster, with the powerful symbol at its core also showing all Australians that we can be there for whatever ‘&’ comes next in your life. Our Mission and Values We believe everyone wants to live more beautifully. Our vision is to make the world more beautiful, one room at a time. Our mission is to help everyone create beautiful spaces they absolutely love, effortlessly, in the hope that one day, every home in Australia will cherish at least one beautiful piece from Temple & Webster. To achieve our goals, we’ve created values around creativity, supportiveness, being inclusive, empowered, ambitious and getting shit done. Temple & Webster also has a Trade+Commercial program which provides businesses with access to specialised products and services, including trade discounts, furniture packages, consolidated delivery and installation solutions.

At Gumtree, we’re proud to have spent the last 20 years helping to make ‘Good Finds’ happen for millions of people across the UK. From motors to sofas, records to roommates, connecting people to what they need, when they need is what a Good Find is all about - even if that does sometimes mean the occasional advert with a typo in a headline or a thumb over the camera lens. Over the years we’ve helped start next chapters, supported communities and small businesses and encouraged people to embrace a culture of re-commerce, where we waste less, share more and help each other out in small ways. With over 1.8m ads live on the platform at any time, it’s probably no surprise that we believe that everything can find new purpose, and we’re on a mission to make buying and selling second hand simpler, safer and more enjoyable for every single one of our 11m monthly users. With a team of 185 people working from our Richmond riverside office (plus a few more working for our sister brand Motors.co.uk in Abingdon, Oxfordshire). We’re a diverse bunch of super friendly and talented individuals, always on the lookout for our next ‘Good Find”; talent who want to join our community and drive the re-commerce revolution, open up opportunities for our users and help people find what they’re looking for. If you’re motivated and full of ideas for how you could help make more Good Finds happen on Gumtree then we’d love to hear from you!
