Good business

Good words

As writers, the biggest impact we can make is with our words. Over the years, we’ve helped Nokia encourage customers to recycle their old mobile phones. We’ve helped Arup talk about the benefits of sustainable development. And we’ve helped ActionAid use email to engage with sponsors. Today we’re supporting WSP’s Environment, Social and Governance Team as they put purpose at the heart of their company.

Good deeds

We try to walk the talk too. So you won’t find us writing for a tobacco company (turning this down once cost us a five-figure fee). And you won’t find us working in an old-fashioned office. We had cut out the commuting and started working from home before anyone had heard of Teams or Zoom. When we do need to travel for business, we never fly.

Each year at Christmas we donate to charities that make a difference through reading and writing. These have included Read Easy, Book Aid International, Coram Beanstalk, BookTrust and the National Literacy Trust.
