À propos
Raylo is a fast-growing and profitable company, backed by global investors including Macquarie, NatWest, and Channel 4 Ventures.
We are proud to have been selected for Endeavor’s network in 2024, underscoring our role as a high-impact, mission-driven business with global ambitions. And in 2025 we were recognised as part of Tech Nation’s UK’s Future Fifty programme.
We have been B-Corp certified since 2021 and were recently acknowledged by S&P Global for the positive impact of our circular business model via a Green Financing with NatWest.
At Raylo, performance matters. We set ambitious goals, move fast, and hold ourselves to a high standard, because our mission is too important to settle for less.
Our Core Values Be deeply curious
– We thrive on innovation through diverse approaches, views, and people.
Walk in your customer’s shoes
– To build the best products and make the best decisions for the long term, we must figure out what our customers need, not just what they want.
Focus and execute

Be gritty
– Only gritty teams succeed. Our individual ownership, passion, and perseverance mean we’re a team through thick and thin.
