Excuses to celebrate!
The team recently attended the HAE Awards in London at the beautiful Grosvenor House in the heart of Mayfair.

Our Director of Strategy and Insight, Gary Pattison, even turned his hand at presenting the Website of the Year award.
The women of our agency also attended the Yorkshire Businesswoman Awards held on International Women’s Day 2024 at the Marriott Hotel in Leeds.
