How we work

Our ethos is to take care of our team and our partners who then take care of our customers and their clothes. We are thoughtful and strategic about where we focus our efforts, what we build and the technologies we use.

It works pretty well. Our customer reviews are glowing and we've outgrown our competitors and become profitable with a fraction of the investment normally needed.

We currently collect and deliver in London, Brighton, Oxford, Cambridge, Birmingham and Edinburgh and we have begun international expansion in New York.

We create a proactive and supportive working environment and we strongly encourage our employees to have a great work / life balance.

Our approach to Technology

Being efficient isn't enough. We are thoughtful and considered about where we focus our effort. We believe what you don't build is critical and we think deeply about what work is really important to the business. We take time to make sure we really understand the problems before we design solutions and we our flexible in our technology choices to ensure we use the best tools for the job.

We have built a well crafted product, with clean well tested code. Our platform is robust, performs well and has very little in the way of bugs. We've always tried to find a pragmatic balance between building features quickly that solve the current problem and building solutions that could be easily adapted for future problems.

Although the platform is relatively mature there is still an opportunity for new members of the team to come in and help to shape and define our engineering culture and processes. We've operated leanly with a skeleton team as we've balanced the need to become profitable with our ambitious growth plans. Now we are profitable, building a small but high performance engineering team to help power our continued growth is a key priority.

Join our company if;

  • You're keen to keep learning.
  • You think your career will progress because you’ll be given more responsibilities than elsewhere.
  • You can't face working on meaningless non-core code.
  • You like the culture and you think you’ll have fun.

In three year’s time when you look at this job and this company you’ll feel proud and it will be part of how you got where you were going. Join because as we grow our ability to reward you will grow and your income will grow with our success that you contributed to.
