Oritain’s London move marks next phase of global growth

Oritain, global leaders in forensic origin verification, has relocated its London base to Harella House in Clerkenwell, reflecting the company’s continued growth across the UK and Europe.

Oritain CEO, Alyn Franklin said, "This move reflects the scale of Oritain’s ambition and the progress the business is making globally. As demand grows for trusted, science-based supply chain verification, we are continuing to invest in the capability, infrastructure and leadership needed to support customers across markets. Our new London base strengthens an important international hub for the business and strongly positions us for the next phase of growth.”

The new London office provides an enhanced environment for collaboration, bringing together teams across product, data science, commercial, and delivery functions as the organisation continues to scale. The move is underpinned by growing demand for transparency highlighted in Oritain’s Supply Chain Intelligence Report, which shows increasing pressure on brands to verify product origin, manage risk, and meet rising regulatory and consumer expectations.

Harella House itself offers a setting closely aligned with Oritain’s work and purpose. Originally built in the 1930s as a clothing factory and home to one of the UK’s largest women’s fashion exporters, the building reflects a long-standing connection to global textile production and trade. For Oritain, whose forensic origin verification services support leading fashion brands and retailers to verify the origin of their products, the location provides a meaningful link between the heritage of the apparel industry and its future, one increasingly defined by transparency, accountability, and trust.

The move follows a sustained period of growth for the business, including the recent expansion of its global laboratory network. Announced in November, this included the integration of leading scientific facilities across Europe, Agroisolab in Germany, Advanced Isotopic Analysis (AiA) in France, and Imprint Analytics in Austria, alongside Oritain’s founding laboratory, Isotrace in Dunedin, New Zealand. 

Alongside its new London office, Oritain has also recently updated its office locations in Washington DC and Singapore, reflecting continued investment in its global footprint and ensuring teams are well positioned to support customers across key international markets.
