+ Just Be Yo' Self
+ Just Be Yo' Self
Trust, innovation, collaboration, professionalism, and so on and so forth. These aren’t standout values: they are what you would expect from any serious business.
That’s why we only have one brand value, and that’s “Be Yo’self.”
Be yo’ serious self, yo’ silly self, yo’ weird and wonderful self. Heck, be yo’ awkward, geeky self.
So you be you, and we’ll be us. Now that’s a combination that can’t be beaten.
Master of multitasking
Andrew Loughlin, Director
Father of three, husband, brother and Puppy Dad. Seriously into all things bid, relationship building, customer journey and binge watching movies/series.
-
Andrew once accidentally brought a hedgehog back from a cubs camping expedition in the Kuwait desert.
Innovator of everything
Pamela Polk,
Senior Bid Writer
Mum, wife and dog mum. Passion for discovering new places where I can sit back, relax and enjoy the view. When I’m not exploring or enjoying family time, you can find me infusing my creative flair into everything I do.
-
Quiet by nature, but a ninja in action with a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do.
Strategist of winning words
John Simpson,
Bid Director
Brother of one, dad of two and uncle of three. Big fan of rugby, though strictly from the sidelines these days. Travelling and altitude trekking are my thing, with Kilimanjaro and Everest Base Camp already ticked off and the Andes firmly in my sights. Lover of everything Italian, especially the food.
-
John was overtaken by a Sherpa carrying a freezer on his back when he was trekking in Nepal
Trainer of toiling bid teams
James Cadman,
Associate Director - Trainer
Father, husband, bid trainer, writer wrangler and occasional French speaker (oui, vraiment). Bringing calmness, clarity and a touch of international flair to the world of bids. Happiest when supporting others to grow in confidence and capability.
-
James once drove the steam train at Disneyland Paris. He still insists it was the most dignified way to travel between Frontierland and Fantasyland.
Making it look effortless
Sharon Conway,
Associate Director
Bid and Marketing Design
Mum to two, wife, sister to four and auntie to a multitude of nieces and nephews. When not out socialising with friends, Sharon and her husband can be found hiking in the Highlands or trekking further afield: Norway, Poland, and Iceland ticked off the list, Tour du Mont Blanc is next.
-
Like the fairy Godmother, Sharon can make anything look good.
Mildly intelligent, annoyingly inquisitive.
Jake Murray,
Associate Creative Director
Husband, brother, and pere de chats. Can often be heard ranting about the state of modern advertising, the importance of creativity in business, and why Simon Sinek is a div.
-
He may look like he listens to Mumphord & Sons, but Jake used to play guitar in a technical metal band called Mr Dirty.
Sees it before it happens
David Thorpe,
Associate Director – Planning and Buildability
Husband, dad to two boys, brother, uncle and now a great-uncle. When he’s not working, Dave can usually be found following Glasgow Warriors, out walking his dog Isla, or somewhere on a mountain with a pair of skis strapped on. To his feet, one hopes.
-
Back in his windsurfing days, Dave was one of the few people hoping for a windy day. Not much has changed

This is wee Rosie (and yes her tongue is always out 🙈).
Surprisingly dog like
Jura + Lewis
The astute among you will have noticed that these dogs are indeed cats. Lewis can sit and give paw like a dog. Jura barely has enough cognitive capability to poop in his designated tray, let alone handle complex tasks.
