An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the team at one of the Best Places to Work in Europe.
Over the next few months, Huboo is looking to hire 200 people into a range of UK warehouse roles.
Founded in 2017 by CEO Martin Bysh and CIO Paul Dodd, Huboo employs more than 700 people globally across the UK, Europe, Turkey and the USA.
Born out of the realisation that businesses often have to slow their growth in order to keep up with processing pick, pack, and dispatch demands, Huboo helps online businesses grow by taking care of all its e-commerce order fulfilment needs.
With new roles up for grabs, we took a closer look at why so many people are choosing to join the friendly Huboo team.

A common opinion of warehouse work is that it's tiring, undervalued, and underpaid - something that Huboo's co-founder and CEO, Martin Bysh, recognised himself.
"One of the biggest barriers to e-commerce growth is the desperate state of warehousing across the industry, where untrained and demotivated workers carry out menial roles in appalling conditions for low pay."
While that might be the case for many warehouses, Huboo is changing the landscape.
Huboo’s employee turnover within its warehouses is just 2% annually, far lower than the i ndustry’s average churn rate of 37% proving that warehouse work can be rewarding if you work for a company that cares.

Martin commented on these impressive stats: “Almost two in five warehouse workers vacate their roles every year, leaving employers facing a perpetual shortfall of employees who actually know how to perform their roles properly, hampering productivity and leading to errors.
"Not only is this situation unethical, but it places a ceiling on the e-commerce industry’s growth potential – to the detriment of millions of businesses worldwide."
Huboo has managed to curve this trend by creating a workplace that takes care of the welfare of warehouse workers.
In part, this is done by ensuring Huboo values every employee. It is passionate about nurturing talent and looks to ensure that all colleagues are given equal opportunities to build a career at Huboo.

What's more, colleagues outside the warehouse team completely understand the demands and expectations of the job. To ensure that everyone within Huboo’s wider business understands the vital role of hub managers, every team member is required to spend one day working in the warehouse when they join the company as well as often supporting during client sales and peak seasons.
“One of the excessive costs for warehouse companies is the cost of mistreating human beings which creates massive churn of staff," added Martin.
"This results in a situation where you can’t afford to train staff because you’re not going to keep them for any decent length of time, while paying 20% more. You can’t build a business on those economies as it results in having to sell a more expensive product.
“There’s an incredible advantage in treating people decently - they stay and it means that you’re not paying constant hiring costs. We can afford to train our people and give them more opportunities. Once someone leaves, you lose the value of their training."

Huboo sees training as a vital resource, not only for the company's success but for the happiness of its employees.
When you join the company as a UK hub manager, you'll complete a thorough three-week training programme in Huboo’s dedicated training facilities, and each employee receives shares in the business, helping you to feel invested in the company’s continued success.
And success is something Huboo and its employees are well accustomed to. Huboo has raised over £100M to date and is on course to achieve a year-on-year increase in revenues of 85% in the financial year to September 2023, having achieved 2.3-times year-on-year growth in 2022.
This conscious effort to change the way warehouses function means a higher employee satisfaction rate and an all-round happier workplace. And to add to this positive atmosphere, employees benefit from a range of perks.
As well as becoming a shareholder, all employees are entitled to fantastic benefits that will keep you healthy and happy, but also transform you into a true 'Hubooligan'.
Employees can enjoy perks such as sports partnerships, pension schemes, private health care, socials, PerkBox, and more.
