We're an ethical, opinionated company.
Boxmove has been established since 2017 and has grown steadily year on year, now carrying out approx 100,000 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.

Mel oversees day-to-day operations at Boxmove, with a particular specialism in HR and recruitment.
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
Ant is our travelling Recruitment and ER Manager. He recruits & assesses new employees, reports on current teams and works alongside our Operations teams to ensure Boxmove drivers are working to the correct standards day in day out.
Alastair is our Logistics Manager, corralling the team together to make sure every day is green rather than red. He is also a master rock climber, sadly not a skill that's useful in our office.
Andy oversees our North based teams alongside his Deputy Manager role within the logistics team. Also our scheduling expert - this probably stems from his unhealthy obsession with Football Manager, player stats, and Liverpool FC.
Sam oversees our driving teams in the South, as well as being our experienced hand at logistics. Sam specifically requested to have a picture taken in Wetherspoons (her favourite place) for her staff profile.
Emma oversees our Midlands teams, as well as general logistics & recruitment support.
Arthur oversees our West based teams, as well as general logistics & marketing support.
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 :)
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.
