Our story

We reimagine the way
London works for each other

Jobs is what we power. It's our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It's what gets us out of bed each morning — constantly reimagining how we can connect more jobs. For you. Across London. In real time. At the incredible speed of now.

Why we exist

The old way was broken

BOB-O-JOB was founded at university. We were always looking for gig work around a busy schedule, while noticing students in their houses needing jobs done at an affordable rate — cleaning, gardening, small paint jobs. Work that rarely needed an expensive professional, just a willing person to get stuck in.

But finding anyone other than expensive professional companies was nearly impossible. We were waiting weeks for what were simple tasks — a garden tidy, a flat-pack assembly, a deep clean before guests arrived.

That's where BOB-O-JOB works. It brings gig workers to expert professionals at the click of a button — the right skill level, at the right price, right now.

What we stand for

Six principles we don't compromise on

🔒

Trust, earned — not assumed

Every Jobber on the platform is ID-verified, right-to-work checked, and has their certificates reviewed by our team before a single job is accepted. Reviews are from real, verified customers only.

Speed that respects your time

Life doesn't wait for a callback. ASAP bookings are matched and on their way in minutes. Our smart GPS matching finds the nearest qualified Jobber — automatically, instantly.

💚

Fair pay, always

Jobbers keep the vast majority of every job. No surprise deductions, no weekly targets, no unpaid travel. We grow when they grow — that's not a tagline, it's the model.

🔐

Your money, protected

Payment is held in escrow until you confirm the job is done. You never release a penny before you're satisfied. No completion, no charge — full stop.

📍

Rooted in local

We're not trying to be a global tech giant. We're building borough by borough, making sure every area has enough great Jobbers before we expand into the next one.

🤝

Accountability built in

Check-in codes, GPS tracking, before-and-after photos, and a dedicated dispute team. If something goes wrong — which is rare — we're there to make it right.

How we got here

The road to launch

University

The idea is born

Founded by Freddie alongside two friends at university. Always looking for gig work around a busy schedule, and constantly noticing students in their houses needing affordable jobs done — cleaning, gardening, small paint jobs — that didn't need an expensive professional.

The problem

Both sides were broken

Finding someone to help was near impossible without going to expensive professional companies. Waiting weeks for what were simple tasks. A messy garden, a flat-pack that needed assembling, a house that needed cleaning. There had to be a better way.

The solution

BOB-O-JOB is built

The platform is built on the principles that drove Uber's success: gig workers gain flexible income, professionals fill gaps between jobs, and companies allocate workers by skill level. Customers get upfront pricing, pay on completion, real-time tracking, and the right expertise at the right price.

2026

London launch

BOB-O-JOB launches across London. No longer paying an experienced professional just to do a straightforward job. The right person, at the right skill level, at the right price.

Beyond

UK expansion

With London proven, the model rolls out city by city — making sure every area has enough great Jobbers before expanding into the next one.

The people building it

Founded by people who lived the problem

Our Founder and CEO started BOB-O-JOB at university alongside two friends. They were the students looking for gig work to fit around a busy schedule, and the students in run-down houses desperately needing things fixed at a price that actually made sense.

That experience shaped everything. BOB-O-JOB works on the principles that drove Uber's success — a marketplace where gig workers gain flexible income, professionals fill gaps between their existing jobs, and companies can allocate their workers by skill level to the right jobs. Better for everyone.

We're launching in London and growing carefully — borough by borough — making sure every area has enough great Jobbers before we expand. Follow our blog for weekly updates on where we're launching next.

Where we're launching

London first. Done right.

We could have launched everywhere at once. We didn't. London is one of the most complex, most demanding, most scrutinising markets in the world — and that's exactly why we started here.

If we can build real trust with London customers and Jobbers, we can build it anywhere. We're launching borough by borough through 2026, making sure every area has enough great Jobbers before opening the next one.
