Company mission

At Quiver we're re-imagining what urban delivery can be - we want it to be faster, emissionless, more customer-centric, more transparent and more responsive. To do this, Quiver's fulfilment network utilises our client's stores and our own micro-fulfilment centres to provide a unique customer experience.

You want to grow with Quiver - You’ll be given as much responsibility as you can handle. We need someone who is willing to apply themselves to the evolving needs of the product + company.

Our take

Amazon has fuelled shoppers’ demand for same-day delivery, and this is fundamentally changing the way consumers shop. It integrates the convenience of online retail with the immediacy of bricks-and-mortar stores.

Merchants, therefore, need to keep up with faster delivery and consumer expectations. Quiver is helping retailers do this by offering an instant eCommerce delivery service from both retail stores and fulfilment centres.

The company are rebuilding last-mile fulfilment to be faster, emissionless, and more customer-centric. Currently focused on London, Quiver will soon be expanding to additional cities around the globe.
