HubBox has secured £6 million in new growth funding to accelerate its international expansion and strengthen its position in the out-of-home delivery sector. The funding round was led by Puma Growth Partners, which focuses on scaling established, high-growth companies. The capital will support HubBox as it broadens its footprint across the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan, and the United States and enhances its partnerships with couriers while onboarding additional retailers.
Founded in 2015, HubBox developed a platform to reduce missed home deliveries by enabling retailers to offer shoppers local pickup options at checkout. The company’s technology integrates with more than 1,000 retail systems and connects with major courier networks globally. HubBox currently supports thousands of retailers, including brands such as Gymshark, Selfridges, Macy’s, Gap, and Birkenstock.
Its model centers on collaboration with leading couriers, including UPS, DPD, Royal Mail, DHL, Asendia, and PostNord. Through its Funded License Program, couriers can finance retailer access to HubBox software, which has accelerated market adoption. The out-of-home delivery segment is projected to grow from $29 billion in 2024 to $54 billion by 2030, yet adoption among retailers remains below one percent. HubBox aims to address this gap while meeting the growing demand for flexible, efficient delivery alternatives.
The company plans to scale its workforce and software development efforts as interest in out-of-home options continues to rise among shoppers, retailers, and logistics providers.
KEY QUOTES
“Offering pickup at checkout is key to accelerating the shift to out of home delivery, and HubBox has been leading the charge for nearly a decade as the market leader in this space. Now, as demand for HubBox from couriers, retailers and shoppers continues to surge, we’re expanding our investment in people and software to meet it. We’re truly thrilled to partner with Puma to take this exciting next step. With OOH on track to overtake home delivery, the opportunity is huge — and we’re just getting started.”
