About Us:

We make moving anything anywhere, easier, more affordable and greener for everyone. With Over 8 million customers across the UK and Europe since our launch over a decade ago, we’re proud to be known as the largest, fastest growing tech company in the logistics industry.

Like many popular marketplaces, we’re asset light – i.e., we don’t own any vehicles or employ any drivers. We work with our transport partners and use technology to disrupt the entire delivery and moving process to optimise the most efficient journeys.

Sustainability is a core part of our mission. We’re proud to say we’ve achieved carbon-neutral status on all our transport moves.

Our innovative tech stack is a key part of how we can deliver a world class service at market beating prices. By intelligently matching customer’s jobs to driver’s availability, we can better use vans on the road. This smart allocation allows us to constantly lower prices for our customers, while ensuring our drivers get a fair slice of the pie - all the while cutting miles driven, reducing waste and emissions.

But we've only just started! Over the next few years, we’ll be levelling up our platform, building tech which allows us to:

We’re an agile organisation - while most of our teams use scrum with two week sprints, we’re not prescriptive and encourage engineering managers and product managers to adapt processes to match their team. We believe strongly in delivering business value, and our senior engineers will regularly interact with stakeholders from all backgrounds and seniority.

Delivery Equity and Inclusion

In our pursuit of fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, we invite individuals from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. Together, let's create a culture where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every person is empowered to thrive.

Working Patterns

We are extremely proud of our culture and believe in the many benefits that being in the office provides - all our roles require regular time in our office in Hammersmith.

We do not offer fully remote roles but we support hybrid working wherever possible (3 days in office, 2 days from home). However, to meet the needs of our customers and business operations many of our Operational and Commercial roles are fully office based.

Our Values:

Have fun, get it done

  • Work hard, play harder
  • Satisfaction in results
  • Do the right thing

Progress Over Perfection

  • Innovate and disrupt
  • Curious and adaptable
  • Work quick, learn quicker

One Team Thinking Big

  • Collaborate and communicate
  • Celebrate wins
  • Embrace challenges
