Our Approach

We develop close working relationships with our clients, offering a proactive, attentive, and personal service. It is our intention to deliver the highest quality advice, and do whatever we can to serve our clients’ interests. The advice we deliver is carefully considered and our recommendations are made after we have assessed matters such as client culture, resources and wider business objectives. We often work in tandem with other advisors. We aim to tell our clients what they need to know and not what they want to hear.

Our History

            We were founded over six years ago by Tim Purcell and Roger Turner. After early beginnings in east London the company moved to 1 London Bridge at the end of 2004. In June 2009 we moved to Shoreditch on the fringes of the City of London to share offices with Emperor Design.

The scope of our advisory work has grown considerably over time. Our initial focus on CSR reporting and communications shifted in response to client demand. We are now regularly asked to supply strategic and policy advice in this complex area. In the summer of 2006 we also began supplying public relations services to third sector organisations.
