E-commerce platform James and James is expanding with €12M funding


The UK-based e-commerce platform James and James is here to stay and grow. This fulfilment service has just acquired approximately €12 million to improve its market-leading, software-enabled e-fulfilment proposition. This deal was concluded by LDC Investment Director Chris Baker and Investment Manager James Garland. Following it, Chris Baker and LDC’s Lawrence Dean will join the business as Non-Executive Directors.

This firm offers online order fulfilment to digital merchants. These services include storing products, packing and shipping orders, and handling returns. Thanks to this, retailers will be able to increase their sales volume, improve customer experience and enhance the way they manage stock and inventory. While its operating bases are in the UK, it also has clients from the USA and New Zealand. James and James currently has more than 100 employees across the globe and its revenue has grown by 50% pa to approximately €19 million.

Additionally, clients of this fulfilment platform can complete orders from multiple channels and countries in one place. They can also offer live order-tracking and benefit from data-rich reporting on inventory and SKU performance. This information will help online merchants run and grow their businesses more effectively. Since James and James believe that “the logistics industry has generally been behind in its adoption of technology”, this expansion should bring about new developments.
