The company provides independent advice to help businesses reduce their energy costs, manage their utilities more effectively, and work towards carbon reduction targets.

Founded in 1996, Boxfish has built a strong track record of delivering measurable savings and sustainability improvements for its clients. The company adopted a 4-day working week in April 2023 and has achieved 4 Day Week Foundation Gold accreditation, demonstrating that the reduced-hours model works effectively in a professional services environment.

Where will I work?

Boxfish is headquartered at 1 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 1RW in the heart of Glasgow's city centre. The company operates a hybrid working model, allowing team members to combine office-based collaboration with remote working. Glasgow's central location provides excellent transport links and a vibrant city centre environment.

What is the team like?

With approximately 22 employees, Boxfish is a small but experienced team of energy consultants, sustainability specialists, and support professionals. The company has built deep expertise over nearly three decades, and the team combines long-standing industry knowledge with fresh perspectives on emerging sustainability challenges.

The adoption of the 4-day week has been a positive cultural shift, with the company finding that a well-rested team delivers better results for clients while maintaining high levels of job satisfaction.

Work-Life Balance

Boxfish has operated a genuine 4-day working week since April 2023, at 32 hours per week with full pay. The company achieved 4 Day Week Foundation Gold accreditation, the highest level of recognition for organisations that have successfully implemented a reduced-hours working model without any reduction in pay.

The transition to a 4-day week reflects Boxfish's belief that sustainability applies to people as well as the environment. By giving employees an extra day each week, the company has maintained productivity while significantly improving work-life balance across the team.
