About us
Our story
Passing a paper card around was always a hassle. Then 2020 happened and you couldn’t even do that.
One morning in March 2020 our founder, Val, was thinking about this seed of an idea he'd had for remote group cards a couple of years ago. He decided that if there ever was a time to do it, it was now.
He quickly assembled a small, awesome team to put it together. They all believed in and loved the idea and worked quickly to build it.
The first version of Thankbox went live 2 months later in May. The vision of it has not changed since the first time Val wrote it down - a simple, fun way to create a group card and collect for a gift online. Simplicity and fun continue to be at the center of everything we do.
Our sustainability pledge
We love planet Earth! By sending a Thankbox you are helping preserve it for future generations.
- No plastic or paper, and zero CO2 emissions.
- We plant a tree for every 10 Thankboxes sent.
The team
Val - Founder & CEO
Val has been tinkering on his own projects since he learned how to code. On Thankbox he does a bit of everything - working on new features, answering customer emails and constantly thinking about how to make it even more awesome. He enjoys practicing martial arts - currently Tang Soo Do - and coming up with fun games to play with his daughter.
Tsvety - Co-founder & CFO
Our finance and Excel wizard. Tsvetelina dips her head into everything numbers related and makes sure Thankbox is running smoothly. When not working on making Thankbox better, you'll find her practising the piano or exploring beautiful Scottish hiking trails.
Barbara - Designer
Barbara is responsible for all our designs, branding, UX, UI, interfaces, backgrounds, and anything else that's visual. She started work on Thankbox after five years designing marketing and e-commerce campaigns at PlayStation, and is constantly inspired by all our users spreading kindness and joy. Off-screen she enjoys long walks in nature, and tending to her perhaps too many plants.
Andy - Marketing
Our seasoned marketing man and wordsmith. Andy's marketing, customer and employee engagement pedigree runs to eons across many sectors. He's always looking to delight customers and evangelise all things Thankbox. Andy is a long-time lover of the environment - when not on his Thankbox mission he can be seen in and around the Scottish Highlands with cameras and dogs. When out of the rain he enjoys the wonder that is malt whisky.
