Our heritage is in the creative industries
Our story is about people.
We help great brands improve their talent processes. Creative businesses like record labels, online platforms, publishers, and luxury retailers, partner with us to support their Finance, Sales, Marketing, HR, Legal, Office Support, and Tech functions.
We opened the doors in 1978 and built our reputation in the music industry. We quickly realised that a great brand is not always a household name. A great brand is something people connect with, not just a place they work. Somewhere that helps them become better at what they do. It could be a record label, it could be in media, it could be a tech start-up.
Fast forward to today and this role will support two established and incredibly successful brands, and another that has just been launched.
From household names to the brands of tomorrow.
