HIVED

HIVED is a London-based parcel delivery company built specifically for ecommerce, operating an entirely electric fleet across the UK. Where incumbent carriers retrofit legacy logistics systems for online retail, HIVED has built its network from first principles around an AI logistics platform called HIVEDmind, which uses real-time data and machine learning to optimise routing, predict bottlenecks and dynamically cluster deliveries.

The company was founded in 2021 by Murvah Iqbal and Mathias Krieger and now serves retailers including John Lewis, Nespresso, Uniqlo, Zara, H&M and Liberty of London. Since launch HIVED has delivered over 6.5 million parcels with a 99% on-time rate, and has used its data layer to develop a proprietary postcode system based on real customer demand. In October 2025 it expanded beyond Greater London into eight new cities including Brighton, Bristol, Southampton and Bournemouth, with a target of covering 80% of the UK within two years.

HIVED has raised $58 million to date, with its $42 million Series B in July 2025 led by NordicNinja and joined by Wex Venture Capital, Marunouchi Innovation Partners, Elemental Impact, Yamato Holdings, Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company, Rocketship VC and existing investor Planet A. The company employs around 120 staff at its London headquarters.
