A Special Visitor

We have a very special visitor with us in the UK—Jumpei Hosogai, an Overseas Business Coordinator from our Global Head Office in Japan. He’s here to dive deep into the world of UK eCommerce and to understand what makes our retailers successful in not only selling domestically, but expanding their markets to a global audience of shoppers. Jumpei’s visit is a prime example of our cross-country employee exchange program, a dynamic initiative designed to foster innovation and global collaboration within the OCS family.

During his time here, Jumpei has been following the entire lifecycle of an e-commerce shipment, from the moment it’s picked to the final delivery. He’s already spent time at our fulfilment and returns facility in Coventry, learning about our third-party logistics (3PL) solutions, which handle everything from shoes to magazines.
