Strut is an exciting creative agency based in Inverness. They have a strong focus on brand development - with a focus on the wider touchpoints which their clients' businesses offer to their customers and all those who interact with them.
The business is headed up by Chris Hawkes and Ed Lopez; a dynamic duo, who compliment one-another's skills really neatly.
Chris offered us some thoughts on their working relationship with CRC below:
I have no hesitation in recommending CRC to anyone looking to grow or maximize the efficiency of their business!
"Before working with CRC, we were increasingly frustrated with the purely transactional approach of our previous accountants. Meeting the CRC team was a breath of fresh air - they introduced us to a holistic business advisory service, where accountancy is just one piece of a much larger picture.
There was no hard sell; instead, we were given the space to build trust before committing. At the time, we were navigating complex family succession issues, and CRC’s initial support was instrumental in guiding us through that potentially challenging period.
Since then, CRC’s strategic planning services have been invaluable in helping us tackle the unique challenges of running a dynamic business like Strut. Most importantly, working with CRC has transformed the way that we think about our business. They've sharpened our decision-making, streamlined our processes, and significantly improved our financial literacy—empowering us to understand how our day-to-day actions impact the bottom line."
Thoughts from CRC...
Chris and Ed are a great duo, heading up a really interesting creative agency! We've thoroughly enjoyed working with them as they've taken control of the company, and helping shape the future offering which they have for their clients. We're excited for the next period which Strut have ahead of them!
And as a sign of our own respect for the ideas which their team generate; they've been our branding agency of choice for the design and development of the CRC logo and branding, as well as for our coworking space at The Old Library.
