Christian and I both agree that, as well as delivering a service for clients, understanding PR and being good at it, because the business is our baby, the biggest thing for us is that we want people in the team who understand our ethos, who work similarly to ourselves and want to grow the business with us and be part of it going forward.

When we employed Kirsty, our first employee, we just connected with her. We felt she understood who we were and what we wanted to do, and she could add to that as well.

With recruitment, it’s about the whole person for us - it’s their personality, their attitude towards work and an understanding of where we’re taking Quay2 and a willingness to be part of that.

The way we’ve set the business up means there’s no hierarchy as such. Everybody does everything. We all get involved in everything from organising photo shoots to the financial side to making decisions on where the company’s going. We have very open conversations and it’s very much a hands-on agency.
