Hide AdLee Thompson, Fulfilmentcrowd’s chief executive, said: “We experienced rapid growth during the pandemic as we were well-equipped to support retailers turning to e-commerce with self-onboarding and plentiful capacity in our network. Now, there’s a huge opportunity to build our network across Europe, helping customers scale their businesses and enter new markets. To do this, we need the right team and technology in place to simplify overseas trading.
“We’ve invested in our customer experience team to provide frontline support, as well as developing the fulfilmentcrowd app that allows customers to self-serve. We’re forecasting a 20% uplift in revenue this year and expect the European business to continue growing as more retailers look to grow their sales overseas. It’s certainly an exciting time for the business and the new team members will prove invaluable to our success.”
