“There is no doubt that we are doing things differently,“ says managing partner Catherine Maxfield. “But the satisfaction of looking back on the past year is that we have done them successfully.
“The introduction of Eric the Owl at the start of the year may have raised eyebrows, but we are getting noticed by companies that had not seen us before. A smile on potential clients’ faces has led to meaningful discussions and the opportunity to prove how our experience, knowledge and expertise can be an asset to their businesses.
“I am proud that every client who instructed us for the first time this year, has come back to us with more work. What could be better than that?“
