Description:

Shift is a British-based technology company with global ambition. Founded in 2017 by Jacob Corlett, Chief Executive Officer, the Company is transforming the delivery and logistics industry through its tech-based platform, creating an on-demand delivery marketplace. Shift offers customers and businesses this lower cost, on-demand delivery service via smart algorithms that filter through the pre-existing routes of registered independent drivers and fleets of vehicles. It quickly locates best-suited drivers in order to facilitate jobs in the most efficient way. The company currently has ~300 employees and operates multiple brands and websites in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland and Austria, establishing a significant network of logistics partners. Shift, through its recently acquired brand Movinga, is recognised as the leading relocation services platform in Europe. With a senior management team including industry veterans from app-based platforms such as Deliveroo, Uber and Gett, the business is rapidly scaling - organically and via targeted M&A - to capitalise on its first mover advantage.
