Since then we’ve been busy building our subscriber e-commerce platform and starting trials of our returnable boxes and Zero Waste products which has been going down really well - <a href="https://www.gooodclub.co.uk">https://www.gooodclub.co.uk</a> </div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px">When lockdown hit we had to alter our plans and open our own distribution warehouse to cope with demand, just what you want to be doing during a pandemic! A couple of months later we were safely running our own operations and using our own warehouse management software to increase efficiency.</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px">Now that’s all up and running, we’ve just closed <a href="https://www.crowdcube.com/companies/good-club/pitches/bPBoRl">another crowdfunding round</a> and are looking to expand the team to help us accelerate the Zero Waste rollout. We’re trialling with a closed group of customers at present who each get their deliveries in reusable boxes that are returned to us, including any filler / packaging for reuse. There are 8 trial products in our Zero Waste catalog that are distributed in returnable containers that are cleaned and reused. We plan to expand the trial and the range significantly in the next few months.</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px">The company has expanded from 4 to 18 staff in the last 12 months.

Hey LRUG,
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">With our <a href="https://crowdcube.com/goodclub" class="">crowdfunding campaign to
create a zero waste grocery service</a> about to close, our
thoughts at <a href="https://goodclub.co.uk" class="">Good
Club</a> are turning towards how our engineering team might
look.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">We’ve found one great person already, but we're still
on the hunt for a really great full-time lead Ruby/Elixir engineer
to join us at our south London office (flexible and occasional
remote working is on offer but it will be mostly based in-house).
We’re looking for someone who either has experience in Elixir or
fancies applying their Ruby skills to pick up a new language.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Full job description here: <a href="https://goodclub.co.uk/pages/tech-lead-at-good-club" class="">https://goodclub.co.uk/pages/tech-lead-at-good-club</a></div>
<div class=""></div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">It’s going to be a really exciting 12 months working
on a nice stack to tackle some interesting problems, as we develop
our e-commerce service and prototype our returnable packaging
system. It’s an opportunity to be part of a team working on an
innovative service to help tackle the plastic pollution problem and
make some positive impact on the world.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">If any of this sounds like your bag, we’d love to
chat. Pop an email over to <a href="mailto:ben@goodclub.co.uk" class="">ben@goodclub.co.uk</a> with your CV and brief cover
note.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Thanks,</div>
<div class="">Danny</div>
<div class="">(Co-founder and Product Lead)</div>
