Today's Gap Finder is Sach Kukadia the founder and CEO of luxury jewellery brand 7879.

7879 sells pure gold and platinum jewellery by weight and is priced according to its value on the bullion markets. It offers to buy back your jewellery at any point, and customers can build their investment portfolios on its website.

Sach had the idea during the Covid pandemic when he saw the soaring price of the gold markets. At the time people were being tempted to invest in crypto despite the risk and volatility associated with those markets. He wanted to find a way of marketing gold and platinum to consumers who wanted something tangible to hold and touch, and thought of making and selling pure gold and platinum jewellery.

7879 isn't Sach's first company - in the mid 00's he founded flash sales website Secret Sales with his brother Nish. Secret Sales had relationships with big brands to sell of their excess stock at bargain prices.

Sach meets Winifred Robinson to talk about his experience of running two business, as well as his family's experience in retail which inspired him to follow the same path.
