Co-founder James Hyde said: “We’ve already seen many more people shopping online this year and we expect that to continue, as consumers stay at home.

"Our new building offers six times the space of our current one, which means we can grow the team to meet demand while remaining Covid-secure.”

James and James secured an £11 million investment in March and signed a 10-year lease on a brand new building in May

"As such, we’d love to hear from people in sectors such as retail and hospitality, who’ve been badly affected by the pandemic, but have so many transferable customer service and stock handling skills.”
