James and James Fulfilment, a provider of outsourced fulfillment services to online retailers, announces that significant growth over the last 12-18 months has led to strategic investments in new hires, infrastructure and facilities at its Northamptonshire-based headquarters. For instance, through 2021 James and James hired 92 people and expanded its operational capacity with a new state-of-the-art, multi-million pound, 600,000 sq ft fulfillment center<\/a>. These investments will benefit employees and clients and support future UK, European and US growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 92 people hired, 27 are based from James and James\u2019s headquarters (HQ) and 65 within their UK fulfillment center. Recent key strategic hires to the business include Ajay Patel, Chief Financial Officer (CFO); Paul Wright, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Claude Mosseri, Chief Customer Officer (CCO). They join the existing senior leadership team members, which include Clara Buckingham, Chief People Officer (CPO) and Neil Sant, Chief Operations Officer (COO). Hiring has also recently started for a Chief Sales Officer (CSO), who will complete the senior leadership team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable future anticipated growth, James and James is hiring for important roles in Marketing, Finance,\u00a0 Tech and Learning & Development too, to be based at the firm\u2019s Northampton HQ. The team expects to increase the Northampton fulfillment center<\/a> head count in the near future by around 30 \u2013 60 permanent staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing in infrastructure and facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the additional capacity created by its new fulfillment center, James and James has increased operational capacity to 600,000 sq ft in the UK. Clients now have more access to capacity if needed, as well as a broader array of fulfillment services. This ranges from the storage of products; to the pick, pack<\/a> and despatch<\/a> of online orders; to the handling of any returns<\/a>. Clients benefit from James and James\u2019s cloud-based order fulfillment software<\/a> too. eCommerce businesses can outsource fulfillment in confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Hyde, CEO, James and James Fulfilment says: \u201cWe are constantly evaluating how we can drive innovation for ourselves and our eCommerce clients. For some, this means access to more capacity, for others it means using technology and services to manage fulfillment, and for others it means supporting them as they scale across the UK, Europe and USA. Regardless of their requirements, we\u2019re prepared for – and in a strong position –\u00a0 to support clients as they grow. Our investment<\/a> in people, infrastructure and facilities forms a crucial part of setting us, our clients and partners up for future success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
