We're an ethical, opinionated company.
Boxmove has been established since 2017 and has grown steadily year on year, now carrying out around 200,000 furniture jobs per year. That’s a lot of furniture!
We specialise in collecting and delivering furniture for charities. It’s all we do. Our business is built on saving clients time and money, and increasing their sales by offering next-day service to their customers and supporters. 60-minute timeslots. Digtal Gift Aid. Online collection booking. Uniformed, friendly staff. It’s a great experience for everyone involved.
Studied Management at the University of St Andrews before working for GlaxoSmithkline, and developing a number of mobile gaming websites. He has extensive experience in management, logistics and finance.
Studied Arabic and Law, and then worked in corporate restructuring in the City before setting up a technology consultancy. He is a highly experienced software developer, designer and process engineer.
He's the link between our drivers, our clients and our software, spotting problems before they happen and keeping standards high across hundreds of jobs a week. He also leads our recruitment, making sure every new starter lands in a team where they can thrive.
Rob works alongside all areas of the business, ensuring our teams are doing the right thing in every situation, as well as ensuring efficiency and progress! Rob also supports our charity clients with all training and onboarding.
Marcus manages our fleet of vans across the UK to ensure our workforce have what they need to carry out jobs in a safe, secure and efficient manner
Andy oversees our logistics operations. Also our scheduling expert - this probably stems from his unhealthy obsession with Football Manager, player stats, and Liverpool FC.
Arthur works alongside Andy overseeing logistics with a special focus on south of the UK, as well as being a keen sportsman. You'll either find him sorting out logistics issues, shouting at wayward youths on the football pitch (as a ref!) or putting his wrists to good use on the badminton courts (but not squash).
Donna helps with all aspects of adminstration at Boxmove, keeping the office ticking over nicely. Her ever-friendly face and demeanour keeps us all happy and cheery, even in the dark days of a Manchester winter :)
Ryan lives on the road, criss-crossing the entire UK to get new drivers road-ready and keep our existing teams sharp.He racks up more miles than most of the drivers he trains and has strong, unsolicited opinions on which service station does the best coffee. Turns strangers into teammates for a living.
Payroll, invoicing, accounts: Mel handles the numbers that keep Boxmove moving. Working with us independently for years, she's the reason wages land on time and invoices are right first time, with a calm eye on the detail that operations relies on.
Simon works with Boxmove independently, introducing our service to charities across the UK. He's usually the first person you'll speak to, and he'd rather understand your furniture operation properly than give you a hard sell.
We have been a Real Living Wage employer since we started. From the very outset we achieved profit through intelligence and technology, not through exploitation. We pay a higher salary than anyone else in this industry which means we have our pick of the best people, that leads to better service and less of our time on recruitment and staff management. All our staff are full-time employees, with generous holiday allowances and a staff bonus scheme.
We don’t lease vans. We have no debt. We don’t subcontract. We expand our team slowly and deliberately. We plan to be here in 20 years, providing a good income for our team, and a great service to clients. Our partnership with clients is long-term and we’re highly engaged in the charity retail sector - we have been Charity Retail Association members from the outset.
