BOXT's mission is to be the number one name in home services through a digital platform that connects homeowners with their network of engineers.
BOXT is an eCommerce platform specializing in supplying home heating and renewable energy systems, whilst also handling their installation. The UK Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning industry was valued at £15.0 Billion in 2020. BOXT is looking to disrupt the long-established and traditional home heating market by reinventing how customers choose and buy home heating packages.
BOXT simplifies the home heating installation experience by providing clients with tailored products based on their needs and by handling the whole process of installing the devices. The company's product offering currently comprises the installation and servicing of boilers, solar panels, air conditioning, electric vehicle charging points, and Google smart home products.
Having installed over 100,000 A-rated products since it has been established, Boxt's vision is to grow its renewable energy product lines and become an international household name in home services, distinguishing themselves through its technology platform and relationships with best-in-class manufacturers.

The industry is more complex than people think, which makes the work challenging. We have a lot of competitors now, so we always have to try to be one-step ahead, which isn't always easy. Innovating in a traditionally non-tech sector is also challenging, but rewarding.

We make decisions based on both qualitative and quantitative data. Larger business decisions as well as micro-decisions, such as where to place elements in a given page on our website. We're lean, so we try to test ideas as much as possible before dedicating a large amount of time & resource to them.
