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.
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.
Mel oversees day-to-day operations at Boxmove, with a particular specialism in HR and recruitment.
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.
Rob speaks to our client shops on a daily basis, solving issues and helping them with any questions they might have.
Kim ensures our charities and their shops receive a high standard of service and are generating the maximum possible revenue from furniture sales.
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 Training Manager. He 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.
Sam is part of the ever expanding Logistics team at Boxmove, ensuring our drivers are carrying out their jobs in an efficient, safe and professional manner. You'll catch her on the office phone, offering advice from sunrise to sunset. As she refused to send in a picture we were forced to find a very low resoultion one :)
Andy works with our logistics team, and has a particular preference for scheduling efficient routes. This probably stems from his unhealthy obsession with Football Manager, player stats, and Liverpool FC.
Donna helps with all aspects of adminstration at Boxmove, keeping the office ticking over nicely.
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.
