An inspiring team of people

We’re a close team spread across 3 countries, with a head office in London, and we use various tools like Trello, Slack, and WhatsApp to keep in touch, sharing cat stories, efficiency tips, and design ideas with each other.

We go on at least 2 trips together a year – so far we’ve been to Brighton, The Highlands, Lake Garda (Italy), skiing in France, Bulgaria, Spain, New York, South Africa, Lithuania, Rotterdam and Cyprus. We make time for regular team building activities. We are committed, conscientious, caring and hardworking, and we enjoy the work we do – coding, design and helping clients! And of course, we’re a fun and friendly team!

They get our sense of humour and that we dont take ourselves too seriously. They’ve created two animated videos for us too, the first covering our sustainability journey and the second to celebrate our 50th Birthday. Keren and the team are really lovely people too – helpful, efficient and very very good at what they do. If Google had 6 star reviews, this would be one of them.

Dave LambGibson Lamb

Top Left Design are so much more than our “website design people”. They are our creative partners, helping bring our ideas to life so that everything we do is aligned with our brand. Yes they designed the website, but they also helped us create the concept and the branding. They designed avatars for our team, they suggested bringing in a previously unused colour which worked brilliantly.
