We had the pleasure of being supported this week by Alex Boersma from the University of Bristol – we're hoping she enjoyed the experience of being part of a 'small but mighty' public relations agency!

Lovely to have Alex working with us 😊

Highlight of the week was a meeting with the legendary Lynne Franks.

Plus brainstorming with creative leaders and hearing from the Festival of Nature, kicking off in June.

Lots of catching up with people on the outcome of the West of England mayoral election too – congrats to Helen Godwin.
