The Crew

Andrew Loughlin, Director

Master of multitasking

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.

Pamela Polk,
Senior Bid Writer

Innovator of everything

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.

John Simpson, Bid Director

Strategist of winning words

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

James Cadman,
Associate Director - Trainer

Trainer of toiling bid teams

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.

Jake Murray,
Associate Creative Director

Makes you hink

 Husband, brother, and pere de chats. Can often be heard ranting about the state of modern marketing, 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.

Professional cuddle-thief and chaser of sunbeams and squirrels.

+ 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.
