Lancashire’s global, tech-driven fulfilment provider for omnichannel brands, fulfilmentcrowd, has announced record-breaking growth and continued global expansion following Palatine’s majority stake acquisition in the firm earlier this year. Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions – including consumer sentiments battered by inflationary demands and associated cost-of-living pressures – fulfilmentcrowd’s “strategic focus on premium customer acquisition, operational excellence and proprietary technology innovation has delivered exceptional results for FY25.”

Chorley-based fulfilmentcrowd, a tech-driven fulfilment provider for omnichannel brands, has announced record-breaking growth and continued global expansion following investment this summer from Palatine. For the financial year ending 31st March 2025, revenue at the Lancashire firm surpassed £20 million for the first time, with a 27% increase in transaction volumes across all territories.

Chorley-based fulfilmentcrowd has announced that Toby Phelps has joined the business as chief revenue officer (CRO). In May 2025, Palatine Private Equity acquired a majority stake in the business, identifying the sales engine as a key value driver. Reporting into chief executive officer Lee Thompson, Phelps will be responsible for delivering planned growth across all territories and leading the company’s commercial function - overseeing sales, account management and marketing.

Katie Shepherd, head of brand at at fulfilmentcrowd, shared “The decline of the UK High Street hasn’t happened overnight. It’s been a gradual shift guided by changing consumer behaviours, rising costs for retailers, and the rise of digital-first shopping. The pandemic accelerated habits that were already forming: shoppers grew used to the convenience of online shopping, the immediacy of next-day delivery, and the ability to compare prices immediately. Once those behaviours were set-in, they were never going to disappear when restrictions were lifted.
