Northern business leaders boxxe are shaking things up by welcoming an experienced industry heavyweight, General Counsel and a strategic people leader while also promoting internal talent to add to an already strong executive team of Phil Doye, Hazel Sagar and Tim Hall.

Additional to the new Exec team, Phil Barrington takes the mantle of Head of Business Development, bringing a wealth of industry framework experience from his previous role at HealthTrust Europe.

With the success of the previous year coupled with a strong Q1 and continued ambition to disrupt the market, boxxe have identified these key roles to accelerate this next phase of growth.

Since Phil Doye took over the business in 2019, boxxe has become Carbon Neutral and gone from strength to strength, doubling its revenue and continuing its sustained investment into the business. This includes a 50% increase in employees and a commitment for 5% of all company time to be donated to charity and community work via their in-house scheme.

With the new recruits, boxxe are expecting to invest in systems to allow for increased growth including in talent and digital execution - alongside their commitment to becoming a BCorp.

The line up includes Graham Long as Chief Revenue Officer. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from his previous roles having built and managed B2B sales and marketing organisations at both HP and Samsung Electronics whilst more recently having been with Huawei where he managed the B2B sales operation and Ecosystem development.

Andrea Preston joins as their new Chief People Officer with a successful career centred around business transformation, talent and high growth performance. Andrea is joining boxxe from TES, a global SaaS tech company, where she was HR Director. Her experience working in the global tech industry with TSYS and the professional services sector will help boxxe continue its rapid growth while firmly remaining a people-centred organisation.

Ruth Patterson joins the Exec team as General Counsel & Company secretary - having trained at City firm Herbert Smith Freehills, Ruth brings legal sector, financial, tech & media experience to the line up with global strategic business acumen following previous Exec roles with Hive Learning and Piksel.

Jorden Jones has been with boxxe for one year and during that time he has shown passion and skill for both digital transformation and innovative marketing, leading to his promotion to Chief Marketing Officer, joining the Executive Team.
