Are we Manchester United or Accrington Stanley

This random guy from many miles away, across seas, and mountains, emailed some work to us looking for a job. Turns out it was good stuff because we've moved him to the UK and brought him aboard. I now have an Italian colleague. This chaps has different skill sets to most of our guys and finds alternative solutions to issues that arrive. His work is really top rate and I can't wait to show it off.

Careful thought goes into deciding who to bring into the studio. Each new person has to improve the team. No replacing people or expanding for the sake of it. The studio is only as strong as its people. So each new "acquisition" needs to be a first team player. No buying for the bench.

That attitude has seen the quality of work we produce increase and the scope of work we can confidently tackle, escalate year on year. Much like a Paul Scholes makes everyone who plays around him look like better footballers, so our established artists improve and learn with each new addition to the team.
