Courage and Wisdom

With courageous leadership, intelligent decision making, honesty and integrity we navigate challenges and seize opportunities to drive positive outcomes for all.

Not only do we strive to improve our own business and processes, we are also working to improve the industries in which we recruit. In the last few years, we’ve focused on diversity initiatives, striving for greater representation at all levels and across all industries. We believe diverse workforces make better workplaces and create better thinking. For us diversity comes in many ways and not just what you see. Therefore, we have partnered with many different social action campaigns and diverse groups so we can have greater thinking and breath of connections.
Our Founder, Alice Weightman, is an honorary member of Global Women in PR, Ambassador to the Ideas Foundation and member of the Disability Confident Campaign.

We recently launched our own Diversity Board to challenge our thinking and that of our clients. Our commitment to the industry is that all long lists and searches will include both genders and BAME candidates.
