Powered by robust technology and the Urb-it Community (our couriers) across the UK and France, Urb-it offers end-to-end and last-mile delivery services for e-commerce, retail and the on-demand market. Our business solutions prioritise the customer and the planet. As a certified B Corporation™, we’re on a mission to transform logistics sustainably and offer green convenience in cities.
Everything we do – from the journeys our couriers walk or cycle to the integrations our tech team create – is underpinned by three core values.
We’re big on great service. That’s why we never settle for second best. Whether we’re delivering to customers or liaising with partner businesses, we’re warm, friendly and attentive, communicating clearly and listening intently.
Everything we do is made possible by our people, our partners and our customers. We rely on, trust in and listen to each other. This mutual understanding and respect underpins everything we do and every decision we make.
We’re always looking for new ways to improve ourselves. And the world we live in. We think, question and explore, pushing ourselves, our team and our service to keep improving, to keep moving forward, paving the way for others to follow.
Urb-it’s on a mission to make modern logistics better: for cities, for businesses, and for the consumer. As we enter into a post-COVID 19 world, in which parcel volume continues to grow, our mission matters more than ever. Our purpose is to transform urban logistics with a human service that fights for the health of cities. Our dedicated team has already brought sustainable deliveries to cities across the UK and France – and we’re on the up. As a certified B Corp, we’re setting the gold standard for eco-friendly, high-impact companies who want to do business, better. I am excited for the future, as we grow and realise our vision to bring convenience and sustainability to cities worldwide.
We believe in constantly striving for better. That’s why we’re always on the look-out for ambitious people who can strengthen our business. We’re a team made up of hard-working, driven people who don’t mind challenging the status quo. We’re all working to achieve our own personal and professional goals - and enjoying competitive employee benefits along the way.
