Hoxby is a global community of self-employed professionals that provides professional and creative services to businesses looking for fresh answers. Founded in 2015, we are a purpose led business that exists to create a happier, more fulfilled society through a world of work without bias. The community is built on the belief that everyone choosing their own ‘workstyle’* is the future of the global workforce: a much needed refresh of an outdated 9-5 system, where inclusion comes as standard and diversity is harnessed for competitive advantage. The way they work is refreshing; no bureaucracy, hierarchy or corporate jargon, just brilliant people working together to deliver great projects. Hoxby is the brainchild of Alex Hirst and Lizzie Penny, who, as a result of their own experiences, are passionate campaigners for a world of work without bias, providing access to work for those who might otherwise not have it. Today, Hoxby’s remote agency includes over 800 freelancers across 43 different countries, each with the freedom to choose their own ‘workstyle’. Current clients include Unilever, Merck, AIA, Amazon Web Services and Warner Media. * workstyle - the complete freedom to choose where and when you work
