| Best for | Choose Space 48 when a UK brand is adding an EU-facing website with its own base currency and VAT registration and wants a Manchester-based team with squads on Magento, BigCommerce, and Shopify Plus, so the EU site does not have to sit on the same platform as the UK one. |
| Not for | Not for a buyer with a budget under the $250,000 minimum its Clutch profile lists, and not for a buyer who needs a published multi-currency or multi-website build, because its site names clients rather than store counts. |

What the published record shows
Space 48 states on its own site that it is headquartered in Manchester with a footprint across Europe and beyond, that it works with customers across the globe, and that it has a 100+ strong team. Its Clutch profile lists Manchester, England, as headquarters with further locations in Bath, Dublin, and Edinburgh, a founded year of 2008, and 50 to 249 employees. The two size statements differ in kind rather than conflict: the site counts people, Clutch gives a band.
Its site describes engineering squads dedicated to Magento, BigCommerce, and Shopify Plus, each led by an engineering lead and platform certified, with countless migrations and builds behind each team, and it describes itself as a BigCommerce certified partner. For a multistore buyer, the practical point is that an EU-facing website does not have to sit on the same platform as the UK site, and the same agency can run both. No Adobe tier is stated on its site; hyva.io/partners lists Space 48 as a Silver partner.
The client roster is the strongest third-party fact. On its site, Space 48 shows Charlotte Tilbury, Richer Sounds, Bensons for Beds, Ordnance Survey, Sarah Raven, Pramworld, MenKind, Betty's, Chadwicks, Lifetime Brands, and Sportshoes. Its Clutch profile lists Ordnance Survey, Charlotte Tilbury, Richer Sounds, Missguided, Function 18, Kinetica, tech21, and Cox and Cox, so three of the names on the site are confirmed on a page the agency does not control.
Clutch also lists a minimum project size of $250,000+, an hourly rate of $300+, and 4.0 out of 5 from one review. Both figures sit at the top of this ranking, and one review is too thin a base to read a pattern from. Space 48 publishes no storefront count, no statement about which websites carry their own base currency, no tax engine, and no support desk language list. A buyer should ask for a named UK-to-EU reference with its website and store view structure and should ask which VAT and returns setup shipped with it.

Questions people ask about Space 48
- Where is Space 48 headquartered?
- Manchester, United Kingdom. Its site states it is headquartered in Manchester with a footprint across Europe and beyond, and its Clutch profile lists Manchester, England, with a founded year of 2008. Its Clutch profile also lists Bath, Dublin, and Edinburgh, and its site says the team works remotely from around the world, so a buyer outside the UK should ask how it is staffed for their time zone.
- What does Space 48 cost?
- Its Clutch profile lists a minimum project size of $250,000+ and an hourly rate of $300+, the highest figures in this ranking, with 4.0 out of 5 from one review. Space 48 publishes no price on its own site. A UK brand adding one EU website on a smaller budget should compare Snowdog, which lists $25,000+ on Clutch.
- Which clients does Space 48 name?
- Its site shows Charlotte Tilbury, Richer Sounds, Bensons for Beds, Ordnance Survey, Sarah Raven, MenKind, Lifetime Brands, and Sportshoes, among others. Its Clutch profile lists Ordnance Survey, Charlotte Tilbury, Richer Sounds, Missguided, and Cox and Cox. The three names that appear on both pages are the ones a buyer can treat as confirmed.
- Does Space 48 publish a multi-currency or multi-website Magento build?
- No. On 22 September 2026 its site named platforms, squads, and clients but no storefront count, no base-currency statement, and no tax engine. Its fit for a UK brand adding an EU website rests on its Manchester base and its three-platform squads, so ask for a named reference with its website structure before shortlisting.
