History

In 2012 Oisin Hanrahan, Umang Dua, Weina Scott, and Ignacio Leonhardt founded Handy; it was formerly known as Handybook. The vision of the company was to provide a solution for finding trusted professionals for household services. Since its inception, Handy has spread to 28 cities with 200 employees working behind the scenes to ensure smooth business operations.

In 2013 Handy acquired Exec, a company with similar functions, and expanded its influence to the West Coast. It was in 2014 that Handy acquired its name by rebranding itself, as it was formerly known as Handybook. Soon after the company made another acquisition, purchasing Mopp, and expanded its influence to London.

As the company was growing quite fast, by 2015 Handy announced that it had reached one million connections through its platform, with customers accepting the services of handymen and cleaners.

Most of the company’s bookings are from repeat customers which highlights the brand loyalty created by the platform. Customers can expect to find laborers for various tasks around the house, office, rental spaces, and other general areas. Through the use of the Handy platform, both customers and workers, can expect to find reliable and trustworthy work.

To this day the company continues to connect those who need a job done with the right people for the task. Offered through the platform are background checked professionals, next day availability, and a 100% money-back guarantee.
