Bark's take on their challenges in 2021

Kai Feller headshot
Kai Feller
Founder and CEO

2020 was a fantastic year for the business driven by some phenomenal growth during very challenging times - in 2020 we actually grew more YoY than we did in 2019 which is a massive result. We doubled in pretty much every metric including headcount that went from 40 to 85 by the end of the year. We also launched in the APAC region and opened our first satellite office in Melbourne, with the initiative being our most successful yet.

On top of this, we had our debut in the The Sunday Times Tech Track 100 coming in as the 6th fastest growing technology company in the UK. 2021 is going to be a very exciting year for the business. We have big ambitions to revolutionise the product and be firmly cemented with the next-generation of the platform. Alongside this, we plan to continue the same level of growth both financially and operationally with all metrics expected to double again. To achieve this ambition, we are building a development centre of excellence to accelerate our journey towards becoming the Amazon of Services.

Our take on Bark

Kirsty headshot
Kirsty
Company Specialist

Bark is the UK's largest & fastest growing services marketplace, connecting consumers and businesses with the right professional for their project in thousands of unique categories. A customer can simply post a service requirement (they call this a Bark!) and their technology goes out and finds relevant professionals instantly.

Professionals who are interested in quoting for the work can post their responses to the customer. The customer can then speak to the seller, view their profile and read Bark reviews before choosing the best pro for their job.

Bark now boasts over 8M users booking pros stretching from gardeners and cleaners to counsellors and accountants across 11 countries. The company's active expansion into new markets has been slow but sure. With this, coupled with the shift in behaviour towards acquiring professional services, Bark seems to be on a path of definite growth for years to come.
