Swyft

E-commerce has rapidly taken over retail shopping in the last decade, with its success largely coming down to the convenience of same and next-day delivery of services such as Amazon Prime. However, this unfortunately leaves smaller businesses behind as they are unable to afford the bespoke logistics networks and infrastructures of eCommerce giants.

• We delight customers - we put the customer in the centre of everything we do and favour the customer over everything else
• We act as owners - we commit ourselves every day to our work, to our customers, to each other
• We love data - we commit ourselves every day to our work, to our customers, to each other
• We show an extreme bias for action - we value scrapiness over perfection. Real, sustained and lasting improvements can only be found with shipping quick and incremental changes
• We love simplicity - simplicity is a competitive advantage that doesn't just happen, it has to be recreated constantly by removing complexity. When solving a problem, we come up with the simplest solutions
• We play the long game with bold bets - we cannot build a company that will outlive us if we sacrifice long-term goals for short-term gains
• We are respectfully transparent - we are respectfully transparent with our customers, our investors and each other. We share everything (unless there's a legal restriction or the information isn't ours to share)
