About Us
Find out more about us, starting with a vision that dates right back to 2006
A vision from 2006
Online Fulfilment Centre’s Managing Director, Paul Beatty, began his online business journey in 2006. Initially selling a popular Home Teeth Whitening Kit he sourced in the US on eBay, Paul went on to create a dedicated website for the business.
This led to Paul forming a Ltd company, with sales growing enough for the business to be taken more seriously. A foray into the world of affiliate marketing led to Paul purchasing another website; a men’s health product with a good track record behind it. Although both sites were performing well, Paul operated these as side-line businesses alongside his full-time jobs, which included car and website sales. Orders were packed from Paul’s home on an evening and sent out the next day Via Royal Mail.
Growth in 2010 called for bigger resources
In 2010 after a bit of an epiphany, Paul decided to throw all his efforts into growing the websites and went into the online business full-time. Within a year, he expanded his premises from an office to a small warehouse, employing 2 members of staff.
The affiliate marketing industry has evolved significantly over the last 10 years, and it has seen several high-profile affiliates move from marketing products for commission, to creating and marketing their very own products.
It wasn’t long before Paul’s contacts he had made during his time working within that area led to several affiliates asking if he would pick and pack their products direct to their customers on their behalf.
2017
A new growing brand
This journey has seen the company rebrand to the Online Fulfilment Centre and grow substantially. In 2017 we invested in our own in-house fulfilment software allowing for a more accurate and faster fulfilment process along with the ability to integrate with the majority of website backends and major shopping challenges.
An honest open approach
We work with you
Paul believes in a very personal and close working relationship with all clients and treats all client’s products as if they were his own. He believes that along with the pricing structure, this personal touch is a vital part of the approach needed in today’s environment. Clients need to know that their customers are getting their products safely and in as timely a fashion as possible.
Growing relationships

Developing relationships with all the major postal/courier has led to huge discounts for clients and the 1 price per order with no hidden extra’s business model has proven extremely attractive to clients both UK and International. Located in Grimsby, the Online Fulfilment Centre now boasts 2 warehouse’s and 3 offices.
We’re well connected
Due to the volume of orders we send out, we enjoy huge discounts with all the major postal and courier services, some of our clients actually have their fulfilment costs met by the savings they make on our postal discounts.
Worldwide shipping for you
The Online Fulfilment Centre ships to all destinations all over the world and has a variety of clients selling anything from Golf Equipment & Beer to Vitamins and Muscle Supplements.
We do not have any notice period contracts, Paul firmly believes that if you are not happy with his services then you should be able to leave, a happy client is a client that will stay, a large number of clients have entrusted us with their orders for over 8 years or more now.
We particularly enjoy and specialise in taking on clients who are just at the start of their own journey into online sales, who are at the point of wanting to grow the business but are bogged down by storing, picking, packing and despatching the products. Paul has been there himself and knows exactly what outsourcing that fulfilment can do as that same journey has led him to the wonderful position, he finds himself in today.
