Managing director, Lizzie Turner said: "It has been a whirlwind few months, with the team working exceptionally hard to achieve all that we have. In less than three years, Peachy has gone from just me working from a badly decorated dining room, to a team of three working on national and even international brands, looking to double our headcount.
"Borne out of redundancy just six weeks before the first Covid-19 lockdown, what was meant to be my dream in ten years’ time has come to fruition and I’m so grateful to both the team and our clients for making this happen.”
Ms Turner, who founded the agency, says she wanted to develop a business with an employee-friendly model that promoted flexible working. Peachy has since become a Disability Confident employer and a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant.
She added: "As a single parent, I know all too well how difficult it can be to juggle being a mum as well as having a fulfilling career, and wanted to break the mould in that respect. While we are fixed in terms of our commitment to clients and meeting deadlines, we also provide opportunities for staff to attend those all-important school events, work flexibly if children are unwell, and we seek to accommodate hours to suit staff whose personal circumstances might make the traditional 9-5 difficult.
"This model has seen high staff retention, happy clients and I’m confident that nurturing the team in this way is mostly responsible for where we are now."
