The story of haus
Haus was formed when our founder and design enthusiast, Lizzie, had a vision to bring stylishly simple products that stand out from the crowd to the UK.
Our name comes from a Germanic word meaning house. Your house is the container of your dreams, memories, and life experiences. It shapes you as much as you shape it. And that’s our enduring goal – to make homes and people look and feel good by distributing extraordinary pieces that celebrate everyday life.
Lizzie | Chief Executive Officer
We love the work we do, we have developed an environment which is built on a foundation of kindness, respect and a passion for the brands and people we work with. Haus is a true North East England success story, as the brands we are partnered with have grown in the UK - so have we. From a 3PL warehouse solution to our own purpose built site spanning some 15,000 sq ft. With a team we are so proud of, that has grown from three to fifteen.
Haus has achieved a turnover of £6 million to date. We have achieved this by working closely with small boutiques to some of the largest premium retailers in the UK as well as managing direct-to-consumer marketing. Haus are experts in brand management, logistics, customer service and selecting brands in growth categories to partner with from across Europe. With years of business knowledge and expertise behind our team, our ambition is to remove the headache from logistics. We’re all about building lasting relationships and getting into the heads of the people we do business with.

Nici | Chief Operating Officer
We recognise many of our clients have challenges regarding the impact of Covid and Brexit. That’s why Haus places large orders, organises our own freight and border clearance. We hold the stock in our own UK warehouse which provides limitless space. We use our own haulage solutions for large retailer deliveries and the most reliable UK postal services for smaller parcels with a 99.8% delivery success rate. If the product is in stock, we strive to deliver the next day. Haus is unique in that we purchase all of our stock upfront and we manage all UK sales, including delivery and returns. We also have a dedicated b2b store which is linked to industry-leading inventory management and despatch software.
