Jody Tableporter, Director at the British Business Bank, says: “The Midlands Engine Investment Fund II invests in ambitious and innovative SMEs in the Midlands and this recent investment in Warehow highlights the fund’s commitment to supporting growth-focused businesses.”

“We’re thrilled this investment will help the company develop necessary technology to realise its growth ambitions.”

Howard Mitchell of Mercia Ventures, says: “Managing fulfilment across multiple sales channels is a complex task. Larger retailers are often focused on physical stores and their websites, while smaller businesses may lack essential infrastructure.”

“Warehow’s efficient warehouse operations and innovative use of technology are key drivers of its success. This funding will enable the team to scale the business and meet the increasing demand.”
