About us
We are Anna, Hannah, Holly and Laura. We came together because we believe in good work. By that, we mean creating positive and productive environments where people feel valued, engaged and empowered to do their best.
We’re based across the country, from Brighton to Yorkshire via East London and Essex, which gives us the lived experience of different diverse communities, from rural areas to urban centres.
