Bumper move HQ to Sheffield

We have moved our headquarters to the heart of Sheffield City Centre.

Located near Sheffield Hallam University, the new site is home to our Operations, Growth, and People team. The office is our third to open in Europe, with a tech centre in Ankara, Turkey and another office in Hammersmith, London.

The news comes as it was announced Sheffield would be one of the first cities in the country to receive a share of the government’s £1.5 billion ‘levelling-up’ fund as part of their plan to improve areas outside of London. Since our move to Sheffield we have employed 12 members of staff in the Yorkshire area and plan to bring a further 40 jobs to the region.

CEO and co-founder, James Jackson, said, “We’re really excited to have relocated our headquarters to Sheffield, in the heart of Yorkshire. After a year of expansion and growth which includes partnering with new dealer groups like Nissan, and bringing Bumper to Germany and the Republic of Ireland, this next step will allow us to continue to grow the platform, opening to new markets, securing further funding and offering the service to more dealers and garages.

“When deciding to open an office in Sheffield, it really was an easy decision to make. Sheffield have access to great talent, through the world class universities and the growing start-up ecosystem. It's also a great place to live with access to the beautiful Peak District on our doorstep.

"The people of Sheffield are hard-working, creative and friendly to their core, and we are thrilled to be able to bring more jobs to the local area. What’s more, the fact that Sheffield was one of the first cities to benefit from the Government’s Levelling up agenda proves that it’s an area with a bright future ahead. We can’t wait to continue growing and achieving more success, boosting the economy in Sheffield and the surrounding area.”
