My City Centre Voices - Phil Doye talks about boxxe, city ecosystems and the future for York


Posted:  27 July 2020

My City Centre Voices'  York vision featured boxxe CEO and Investor Phil Doye discussing the story from SBL to boxxe, the city's ecosystem and how it's conducive for businesses, and what the future holds for the city of York.

To address existing challenges facing the City of York, My City Centre Voices was established in early 2020.

The vision was simple:  Introduce a diverse range of voices - from visitors, local residents, cultural institutions and businesses - to progressively shape the vision for York's city centre and high streets.

"We can take the best of York, in terms of the skills and expertise that it has, the infrastructure, the connections that we made, and combine that with bringing in skills remotely as a Work from Anywhere business headquartered in York."

The video below forms part of an opportunity for the City of York council to listen to residents and businesses on some of the challenges and opportunities facing the city centre.

Whilst COVID-19 had an impact on the city, this has meant the need for various voices to be heard more critical than ever. One of which was boxxe CEO and investor, Phil Doye, who discussed his experience as an investor in York, and how the city's ecosystem is conducive for businesses in the locality, and what makes the city of York a special place.

Approved by York's council Executive, My City Centre Voices is based on three distinct principles: 

  • Build a brief - Better understand and offer visibility to various ideas from diverse groups of people
  • Explore challenges - Nurture an open public debate about complex issues
  • Make change together - Develop ongoing networks with a key community influence in long-term decision-making, design and delivery
