about us

The Hawker’s Club was founded by Ex-Amazonians Peter Beke and Hannah Blackburn in 2018. Following their Amazon tenures, they both believed that they could offer more value to sellers and vendors outside of Amazon by tailoring the service to what vendors and sellers found most challenging.

The focus of The Hawker’s club is to undertake the vendor or seller ecommerce journey along with our clients. With marketplaces such as Amazon, Wayfair and Walmart increasingly expecting vendors and sellers to take more and more traditionally retail side responsibilities such as customer service, operational and marketing load. Peter and Hannah therefore focus on helping businesses both adopting and thriving in this environment.

Whether you’ve seen record growth and need to expand your team quickly with our virtual team of admins and content writers, or if you want to look at your import operations or advertising with renewed focus, The Hawker’s Club can support your goals.

Peter Beke

Director

After interning at both OTP Bank and Microsoft, Peter relocated from his native Hungary to the UK to complete his masters in strategic marketing at Cranfield University. He then consulted at 4C Associates before joining Amazon in 2016.

Whilst at Amazon, Peter focused on vendor operational excellence, seasonality tracking and vendor experience. Following this, Peter noticed that he could offer more support and advice to vendors than his Amazon schedule would allow, leading to his co-founding of The Hawker’s Club with fellow Amazonian in 2018.​

Beyond consulting and creating new cloud based tools for The Hawker’s Club to improve vendor performance, Peter can be found planning his next road trip or brewing craft beer in his spare time.
