Our take
Bark is the UK's largest & fastest growing services marketplace, connecting consumers and businesses with the right professional for their project in thousands of unique categories. A customer can simply post a service requirement (they call this a Bark!) and their technology goes out and finds relevant professionals instantly.
Professionals who are interested in quoting for the work can post their responses to the customer. The customer can then speak to the seller, view their profile and read Bark reviews before choosing the best pro for their job.
Bark now boasts over 8 million users booking pros stretching from gardeners and cleaners to counsellors and accountants across 11 countries. The company's active expansion into new markets has been slow but sure. With this, coupled with the shift in behaviour towards acquiring professional services, Bark seems to be on a path of definite growth for years to come.
