MEET THE TEAM

Alison Boyle - Partner

History

In my early career, I enjoyed working for a number of years for HP, and I was easily drawn in to the corporate way of life. Marrying a maverick, and having two fabulous and gorgeous children I then discovered I had a life! This made me realise there was much more going on in the world than 9-5. Not a natural entrepreneur, but married to one, I was inspired to set up in business just before the millennium, with Lionel, and to do it “our way”.

Likes

Social Media, the power of the internet and the challenges Marketing can bring. I love the diversity of clients we have, and the uniqueness of each business that walks through our door. Amongst the business and the family, I enjoy a great read and get terrific inspiration from books on business, written by entrepreneurs who have been there, done it and got the T-shirt. I learn a lot from this. I also love (motor) bike days where we go out with a group of great friends. We just ride and eat in good pubs! Great!

Dislikes

Dishonest people. The way the media can sometimes distort the truth for a good story.
The nanny state that forces us to put up with silly warnings like “Contents may be hot!” on the side of coffee cups. The way women are portrayed in some glossy magazines.
People who defraud the state benefit system.
