Zedify is a sustainable cargo bike delivery company based in Cambridge that operates a cargo bike delivery network across the UK. It currently works in Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, London, Manchester, Norwich, Plymouth, Edinburgh and Glasgow. The company plans to expand into more cities and aims to operate in 51 UK towns and cities within the next five years, including launching a new Midlands hub later this year. Zedify intends to use new funding to enhance its technology and expand its teams of riders, sales and customer care staff. Led by CEO Rob King, the company expects to create 80 new jobs, including 20 roles in the new Midlands hub. Zedify expects to triple its turnover in the year ahead. Zedify operates a network of microhubs on the edge of city centres where parcels are consolidated for onward delivery, supported by its own fleet of electric cargo bikes. It runs a technology platform that offers consumers delivery time choices and optimises for cost‑effective, low‑impact routes. The company partners with national delivery firms, major retail brands and hundreds of regional and local businesses. Zedify raised £5M in funding to accelerate expansion. The funds will be used to roll the service out to more locations including Birmingham and Manchester and to more than double in size. The company plans to create over 120 jobs nationwide (including 20 in the Midlands) and to move its headquarters to Birmingham. Zedify operates a smart, consolidated zero-emission delivery system that combines electric trikes, cargo bikes and local depots to serve urban first- and last-mile needs. The company offers a franchise model intended to enable rapid national growth while reducing congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions. Zedify has developed a technology platform to optimise depot operations and delivery routing as volumes scale. The business plans to expand its national network from 8 depots to as many as 20 by 2022 and will hire across sales, marketing and operations to support that growth. Co-founders Rob King and Sam Keam founded Zedify in 2018 and bring over 20 years of combined experience in zero-emission logistics. Zedify is also a registered Real Living Wage employer and emphasizes community and city benefits alongside commercial traction.
