Gareth Laycock

Gareth Laycock joined the established family business in 2011, beginning his journey by picking and processing orders. This hands-on experience across all aspects of the business has been invaluable in implementing the company’s succession plan. Overseeing three relocations to support business growth, Gareth now manages operations from their warehouse and office site in Hull's Ipark.

The business, trading as HubXpert, offers comprehensive warehousing and fulfilment services for partners seeking to outsource their operations. HubXpert’s mission is to seamlessly integrate family-driven values, efficiency, and innovation into every aspect of its services, consistently exceeding client expectations with dynamic and scalable warehousing solutions.

Additionally, the business operates as a B2B lingerie wholesaler, sourcing products from Europe, America, and the Far East. Established as a top-ranking trade supplier in their sector, Alterego Lingerie has adapted to e-commerce trends by offering a comprehensive dropship service while maintaining its traditional B2B wholesale roots.

Throughout his career, Gareth has gained extensive experience in e-commerce, import-export, product and brand development, HR, sales, and operational planning.

Outside of work, Gareth enjoys staying active. While he has hung up his rugby boots, he now spends as much time as possible on the golf course and cherishes every moment with his young family.
