About us:

Founded in 2017, Huboo was created by e-commerce sellers for e-commerce sellers. Martin Bysh (CEO) and Paul Dodd (CTO) found that the demands and struggles that came with picking, packing, and shipping their products was becoming impossible. They considered outsourcing their fulfilment but could not find a company that allowed them to remain in the driving seat of their growing business.

Paul and Martin soon created Huboo’s unique Hub Model.

Huboo was then founded. Huboo is not like any normal fulfilment warehouse, we have a specific Hub Model, which allows our Hub Managers to take ownership of their Hubs and be the point of contact for our clients. They are not only pickers and packers but are also account managers too. Huboo work with clients selling through eBay, Amazon, and other channels. We are the fastest growing e-commerce fulfilment company in the UK and are looking for a Warehouse General Manager to join our exciting journey!

We’re an inclusive team and believe that everybody has a voice. You’ll get tons of opportunity to bring your ideas to the table regardless of your age, gender, sexuality, race, disability or religion.

If you feel you have the right skills and you’re excited by the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, rapidly growing, dynamic and challenging place that I’ll give you ample opportunity to be creative and succeed in your career then get in touch today!
