MOO is all about making great design available to everyone. We do that by producing premium print and branded merchandise. But it’s as much about how we do it, leading with design, technology and sustainability.
Founded in 2004, we’ve come this far by being obsessed with the happiness of our customers. Along the way, we’ve built an award-winning and much-loved brand, with exceptional customer satisfaction and Trustpilot ratings. Those customers are typically small and medium-sized businesses based in North America, the UK, and Europe – businesses that, like us, value design and see the brand-building power of putting something real in people’s hands.
We’ve received the highest business award in Britain, ‘The Queen’s Award for Enterprise’. Part of Tech Nation’s ‘Future Fifty’, we’ve been profiled in the Financial Times, and ranked in the Guardian’s top 10 UK start-ups.
Today we are over 350 people, headquartered in the UK but with many of our people based in the USA and South Africa.
The Forge team is focused on enabling branded product launches through our expanding network of vendors while improving our in-house internal manufacturing system. Our mission is simple: to power product launches that grow revenue for MOO by enabling our manufacturing team to produce high-quality products quickly and efficiently.
We operate as an agile team, working closely with internal stakeholders to orchestrate the post-purchase journey from the moment a customer checks out, to the moment their custom-branded product arrives at their door.
