About us

Stuart Houghton,
CEO of BrightBox Group
BrightBox was established in 2014 as a response to our own frustrations with trying to source the right talent in the software, technology, and consulting sectors. Building on our objective of raising the industry bar and setting a new standard, we have since become a global partner for our clients, providing them with world class resource consulting and capability delivery.
Our own experiences as business owners and software experts fuel our determination to disrupt the traditional talent models and to work with our clients in finding creative answers that fit their specific needs and vision.
We focus on building intimate and trusted long-term relationships with our clients and associates, becoming an extension of their businesses, and delivering quality resourcing solutions with integrity, energy, passion, and spirit.

Headquartered in Manchester, today BrightBox services clients across the UK and Europe, from scale-ups to multinationals and government agencies. No matter the client, we exceed expectations and never compromise our standards.

“BrightBox have provided us with people from day one and continue to demonstrate commitment and dedication to delivering on this transformational journey for HMRC. They react to our needs and work with the management team to ensure we continue to meet our customers’ requirements, and they continue to source skilled people that cover all of our roles.”

“We have found BrightBox and the team to be an excellent resourcing partner for us and our programmes of work. BrightBox has set new standards in understanding our business and finding the right people for us, to what are tight specifications and, in some cases, ludicrously short notice periods. The calibre of people they have access to and their ability to not only find aligned technical skills but also a good cultural fit, has enabled us to deliver successfully at a host of clients.”
