James Hayes is to be Director of Business Development at Parcelhub, which was acquired by Whistl earlier this year.

Parcelhub is a SME focused provider of e-commerce shipping and fulfilment, helping smaller businesses achieve greater economies that larger online retailers can achieve through scale.

Hayes comes from Parcel Station, a parcel delivery management company he helped found in 2010, developing a deep familiarity with the e-commerce sector. He began his career at TNT UK, where he spent eight years in different sales roles.

He will report to MD of Parcelhub Mark Rosenburg. Hayes commented, “It’s a great time to join Parcelhub now that it is part of Whistl, they are on an ambitious growth and development curve both in the UK and internationally and I’m excited to be able to help this succeed.”

Nick Wells, CEO Whistl, said: “We are delighted to bring James into the team as part of our ongoing investment in the Parcelhub business as we continue to broaden its capabilities across the UK.”
