TESTIMONIALS...

“One of the strongest pieces of work I have seen on impacting the UK

on-trade on behalf of our brands. The implications from the work they provided have been put into place with immediate effect.”

Stjin Strobbe, Director of Bacardi Rum, Europe & Oceania

“As we navigated our way out of the pandemic, we worked with Hannah and Siobhan to shape the path for the HH&T business. They really familiarised themselves with the business, ran workshops and provided follow up reports which gave the team structure to create a creds deck which is more representative of where we are now.”

Joe Stokoe

Owner of Heads, Hearts & Tails

“Thank you for such a great hosting and panel session for Champagne Cocktail Conversations – everyone loved it!! The chat was super engaging with really interesting questions and insights across the panel as a whole.”

Isabel Ramalho, Moët Hennessy UK Limited

“Hannah and Siobhan really took time to understand what I was looking for when I brought them on to help me find a high level member of staff. They discussed the business, the dynamic and the day-to-day environment and took all that forward to recruit on my behalf. The resulting hire has been a brilliant addition to my team.”

Lucy Francis

Owner of Domino Communications

“Hannah and Siobhan submitted an incredibly in depth report and presentation which will go on to impact the shape of our World Class Cocktail Festivals over the next five years. They brought their wealth of experience and insider knowledge and fully immersed themselves in the culture of the Diageo business to understand exactly what we were looking to achieve.”

Marissa Johnston, Global Head of World Class, Trade & Social Advocacy

“Hannah and Siobhan are an absolute joy to work with - connected, clever and cool. HANDS have made sure that new opportunities are always presented to AKA when the fit feels right. These are clients we otherwise would not have been in touch with, and in a competitive market - this is incredibly valuable to us as an agency.”

Katrina Kutchinsky

Co-Owner of AKA Communications
