Shipster targets growth in pet sector with senior appointment
Shipster is currently running on over 1,500 warehouse packing benches and over 100 leading couriers have been integrated, including the addition of five services in the Middle East
Shipping technology company Shipster has appointed James Stockton as its sales and partnerships director, aiming to grow its partnerships specifically in the pet sector.
Stockton, who has previously held senior roles at AppLearn and AccessPay, has been tasked with creating and building on key partnerships throughout 2024 and beyond.
The software company already boasts clients in the pet care sector including Bully Billows, canine accessory producers, and is looking to expand this.
Stockton joins the business following investment from Fearless Adventures in 2022 and a move to Lloyds House in Spinningfields.
Stockton said: “Shipster is the best kept secret in shipping and logistics. To be able to grow a business year-on-year organically from word of mouth and referrals is extraordinary. This achievement can be attributed to two things: highly customisable and flexible software at an accessible price, and exceptional customer service.”
Tony Cheetham, founder and MD, added: “The arrival of James couldn’t have come at a better time. We have huge ambitions to scale Shipster and double the number of customers and partnerships.
“James’s vast experience working for technology companies and his shared passion for our goals made him the perfect candidate to join the leadership team and take the business to the next level.”
