Lancashire-based fulfillment technology provider fulfilmentcrowd has been shortlisted in two categories at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards 2026, receiving recognition for both its workplace culture and international expansion.

The company has been named a finalist for Employer of the Year and the Department for Business & Trade International Expansion Award.

The nominations come during a record-breaking year for award entries and recognize fulfilmentcrowd’s continued investment in employee development, international logistics capabilities and technology-led cross-border fulfillment.

Recognition for fulfilmentcrowd’s workplace culture

The Employer of the Year category recognizes organizations that have created strong workplace cultures while demonstrating a long-term commitment to employee development and progression.

For fulfilmentcrowd, the nomination reflects more than 30 years of investment in structured career development, internal promotion, flexible working practices and long-term employment opportunities.

Almost half of the company’s employees have worked for fulfilmentcrowd for more than five years. The average employee length of service is nine years, while the company’s longest-serving team member has been with the business for 40 years.

These figures highlight the company’s focus on employee retention and the development of long-term careers within the fulfillment and logistics sector.

International expansion recognized

fulfilmentcrowd has also been shortlisted for the Department for Business & Trade International Expansion Award.

The category recognizes British companies that have successfully expanded into international markets and demonstrated sustainable global growth.

fulfilmentcrowd supports omnichannel retailers through its proprietary fulfillment technology and international warehouse network. Its platform enables businesses to manage inventory, orders and fulfillment operations across multiple markets.

The company’s international expansion strategy has focused on helping retailers simplify cross-border fulfillment while bringing inventory closer to customers.

By combining in-house technology with a distributed logistics network, fulfilmentcrowd aims to help brands reduce delivery times, improve inventory visibility and scale into new markets without building their own international fulfillment infrastructure.

Investment in people and technology

Paul Taylor, Managing Director at fulfilmentcrowd, said being recognized in two categories reflected the contribution of the company’s employees, customers and logistics partners.

“To be recognized as finalists in two categories at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards is an incredible honor,” Taylor said.

“These nominations reflect the dedication, expertise and ambition of our entire team, as well as the trust our customers and partners place in us every day.”

Taylor said the Employer of the Year nomination was particularly significant because employee development had remained central to the company’s growth.

“We’re especially proud to be recognized as an Employer of the Year finalist, because our people have always been at the heart of everything we do,” he said.

“Creating opportunities for colleagues to grow and build long-term careers has been central to our success, and this recognition belongs to every member of the fulfilmentcrowd team.”

He added that the company’s International Expansion nomination reflected its progress in helping retailers enter and grow within international markets.

“Our International Expansion nomination is equally rewarding, reflecting the progress we’ve made in helping ambitious retailers grow globally while continuing to expand our own international presence,” Taylor said.

Supporting British business growth

Amanda Murphy, CEO of Lloyds Business and Commercial Banking, said the awards celebrate companies demonstrating ambition, determination and innovation.

“Behind every successful business is a story of ambition, determination and innovation,” Murphy said.

“fulfilmentcrowd is bringing new ideas, investing in its community and helping drive growth in the UK. They represent the very best of British enterprise, and we’re incredibly proud to back them.”

Winners to be announced in London

The winners of the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards 2026 will be announced during a gala ceremony at Grosvenor House in London on Tuesday, 10 November 2026.

The event is expected to bring together approximately 1,200 business leaders from across the UK.

Award winners will also be invited to ring the opening bell at the London Stock Exchange and will be recognized during the program’s annual reception at the House of Commons.

For fulfilmentcrowd, the dual nomination provides recognition of both sides of its growth strategy: building an experienced and committed workforce while expanding its technology-enabled fulfillment services internationally.
