We have talked to the CEOs of companies ranging from multi-billion dollar market leaders in their industry to recent IPOs. None of them see producing their business’s annual report as a joy, and most simply want it to meet all their legal obligations with the minimum of fuss, and to help them build relationships with stakeholders, especially potential investors.

We can lighten the load by bringing together the threads of a company’s story, and making sure it is free of unnecessary jargon. We focus on getting the tone and consistency right, reducing repetition, and ensuring that the words work both online and in print. We have written annual reports, sometimes including first drafts of both strategic and governance sections, for many businesses, such as hospital group Spire Healthcare, home builder Crest Nicholson, retailer McColl’s, and real estate agent Purplebricks.
