Company mission
To empower independent businesses across the UK to offer the best deliveries on Earth, saving them time, money and stress, and putting their customers in control.
Our take
Whilst it has never been simpler to start and run an eCommerce business, current courier and logistic solutions still lag behind, and often hinder growth.
Packfleet is addressing this issue for small to medium-sized companies by re-designing the delivery process. Its service saves customers money, time, and stress with app-based tracking, seamless interactions, and next-day delivery, all with a simple, transparent pricing structure.
There is considerable opportunity within the £6bn UK parcel market, as eCommerce continues to rise in popularity. Packfleet is currently operating exclusively within London. They will be using their recent funding to expand their customer base and develop their product.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Packfleet
Josh Garnham (Co-founder)
- If we want to solve problems for people across the UK (and one day around the world), our team has to represent those we’re solving them for and it's important to us that we build an environment that supports and includes them
- We realise that D&I has to permeate everything we do, from our culture to the product we create and the responsibility we have for its wider societal impact
- We also know that work shouldn't be all-consuming and that life outside of work is just-as-if-not-more important. We encourage folks to take holiday, with monthly days of rest, flexible hours and socials designed to be be inclusive of all
- We believe in transparency, and this applies to levels and pay too, which are internally transparent to encourage fairness and help us make tough decisions and not bias to those who are good at negotiating

An example of Autonomy at Packfleet is the direct involvement of software engineers in the entire product lifecycle. Engineers have the unique opportunity to work closely with delivery teams, spending time in warehouses and on dispatch, which provides the best visibility into how to improve the product. Engineers not only gain these insights but actively use them to drive meaningful changes.
