Video

Welcome back to the We Do Grotto, where today’s episode is all about reflecting on the highs of 2024 – from business milestones to personal moments worth celebrating.

Here’s what stood out:

  • Alex’s highlight: Moving into a bigger, creative office space that inspires the team to think differently, push boundaries, and grow into the next stage of the business.
  • Patrick’s highlight: Watching the company evolve – from a small start-up to a growing business with a capable team. The sense of traction and momentum is exciting, with more growth on the horizon.
  • George’s highlight: Celebrating both professional and personal wins – the business growth journey, new team members, and life milestones like Alex’s engagement and the arrival of baby Bertie.

It’s been a year of growth, challenges, and plenty of reasons to celebrate – and 2025 promises even more.
